Either way, we agree it’d be a bad idea. There should absolutely not be anything nepotistic about the hire IMO. We talked about Rick Smith during the GM search. I would like him in a team president role too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous curveball that could only happen in CHI and HOU. Poles promotes up, Eberflus becomes GM, and Getsy becomes HC. We finally get our offensive HC at least.

Nothing at all about Flus’ personality suggests to me that he’d want to be an executive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the two points I was coming in to make… Armstrong would make a ton of sense given his relationship with not only Poles & Flus but he also has some understanding of the McCaskey family and given we may be close to a big change there given Virginia’s health he would make sense… Also wouldn’t shock me to see George lean on Bill Polian again and make a run at Tony Dungy who would be an excellent choice for the role as well… In terms of the timing of this announcement it is a bit strange considering the plans for the new stadium will be out next Thursday…unless there will be a new point man on that project and they plan to introduce them at the press conference…Phillips stays on a president until Feb next year to pick his successor because you know George isn’t doing it without Phillips approval. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone earlier said it, but I think dividing Phillips’ role into two positions (VP of Football Ops and VP of Business Ops) makes the most sense to me. Let one guy run just football. Let the other run everything else (cuz there’s a lot beyond just the team). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would be entertaining at least. He might drop the 'manager' from his title and make it like a military base. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
