Hot GM prospects for dolphins

Hayden Fox said:
All you guys that want the "big time" GM are greasing the skids for Philbin to get the ax. I have been on record of wanting other candidates during the process. However, now that he is hired he should be allowed to let his system develop. He is has a QB he believes in and right or wrong Joe has a philosophy he believes in. A legit GM might give him a year, but if there is no success, he will want his own guy.

You got to find a match with someone that knows Philbin in some capacity.

Philbin hasn't done anything for any Dolphin to be attached to him anyways. I doubt he gets axed anytime soon.

Russ Ball has been a guy I have consistently liked. Nick Caserio is interesting as well.

Russ Ball also has the Green Bay connection, so he probably understands the philosophy that Philbin is trying to implement.
CK do you know much about Les Snead the Falcons Director of Player Personnel? As Thomas Dimitroff's right hand guy, Atlanta has had consistent success in upgrading their roster through the draft and free agency.
 
I would fire Ireland at the end of this year and then hire Bill Polian! With all the draft picks we have next year Polian would have us competitive in no time! The guy knows how to build a team.

Jeff Fisher hired him to be the Rams general manager.

Nice, but it sounds like he'll be a Packer's lifer. Might be really hard to persuade him to leave the Packers.

two of the names in that article, Reggie McKenzie and Les Snead, are now GMs in the NFL with Oakland and St. Louis.

I'm gonna throw a name out there that may not be as well known; Omar Kahn. He has been with the Steelers since 2001 working as their main capologist and contract negotiator. He was promoted this year to Director of Business & Football Administration basically being the number 2 behind Kevin Colbert. He's a guy that has been rumored to be Bill Cowher's choice to be named GM for whatever team he returned to. Kahn's also only 35

But it doesn't sound like Khan has any scouting experience? I'm not sure he is the right guy running a draft, for example.

I know that there were some folks in the Raiders organization that really liked him. That's about it.

EDIT: Oops. See when you asked about him I was thinking damn I thought he'd already got hired somewhere, but since you asked about him I guess not. Turns out he was already hired somewhere.
 
I wonder about Eliot Wolf. How much is his reputation tied to his father? As we saw with Bill Polian and Chris Polian, that apple doesn't always fall close to the tree. He's the Pro Personnel Director on a team that avoids free agents like plague, for an organization that worships his father. That doesn't scream at me "I'm super qualified!"
