And it’s rooted in the year that GM Andrew Berry had in Philadelphia. The new structure is, in fact, one reason why so many of the guys Berry worked with previously had to go—former assistant GM Eliot Wolf and VP of player personnel Alonzo Highsmith would have had to take de facto demotions to make it work. As the Eagles have it, the scouting department is set up in two silos. One is headed up by a VP of player personnel (Andy Weidl), the other by a VP of football operations (Berry’s old role). The former basically leads scouting, the latter everything else (analytics, etc.) In that structure, there was no room for an assistant GM like Wolf, and Highsmith likely would’ve had to be re-assigned to allow for Berry to have his own guy as scouting head (remember, Highsmith was hired over the top of Berry by GM John Dorsey). So those guys are gone, and ex-Niners exec Kwesi Adofo-Mensah is in as VP of football ops, with assistant director of pro scouting Glenn Cook promoted to VP of player personnel. So yes, there’s definitely an “analytics” feel to the front office. But the blueprint is actually borrowed from Philly.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buno67 Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 Crazy part, when Roseman took over as GM of the Eagles, he was the youngest GM in NFL history I believe. Now, Berry is trying to model his FO after Roseman, kinda fitting that Berry is the Youngest GM in NFL history for it. If their is one FO to model after, Eagles are a good example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooks1957 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I know DePodesta is a key player in this front office, but where is he on the proverbial flow chart? I would guess even with Berry or his boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And considering we had the coach help find a Gm I’d say that’s a tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure even jimmy said stefanski had a role in it. They interviewed a bunch of GM candidates with stef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideal you take the guy Stef has been around for the past 10+ years in Paton. It was Berry’s job from the jump Edited June 3, 2020 by buno67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
