So easy. If we fired him at the end of last year as some of these guys got hire already.You didn’t answer the question? Who would you replace him with?
1. Borgonzi. No brainer over Grier. He has played a massive role in the Chiefs drafting over the last 3 drafts. They just churn out starters all over. His accomplishments 5x Griers before becoming GM.
2.Ray Agnew. He is available (probably gets his chance next year. I would take him right now 10X over Grier. You want a guy with a football background and loves toughness he is your guy. Known for as a great player evaluator. Was director pro player personnel in LA that lead to SB. Has been Assistant GM in building Detroit. Again far better resume then Grier before becoming a GM.
3. Alec Halaby. He is the choice if you go off traditional FB background. Been with the Eagles since 2010. Know for bridging players scouting department with more analytics. Been on both sides FB and business, Assistant GM since 22.
And there is more, those are just a few. I know you will say ya but they are unknown. Guess what most successful GMs are until they aren't. Give me the unknown (when better prior experience then Grier) over the known failure.
Another name. While I am not a big fan of retreads, but if you want experienced guy who was far more successful then Grier go hire Thomas Dimitroff. 2 time executive of the year as a GM. Rostered teams of Mutiple playoff wins a NFC championship and a SB appearance. Non of which Grier has done. Easy to fine fired ex-GM far more accomplished then Grier.
Now build me a Grier resume that would entice an NFL team to hire him?
I will counter as a hiring consultant and lay out why Grier is an easy pass.
1. In a vast majority of his experience, was with one organization under mutiple failed GMs who failed to win a playoff game.
2. In 10 years since being a GM has failed to win a playoff game.
3. Has failed on 2 HC hires already and trending on a third failure.
4. Current roster is mess after doing a complete rebuild in the middle of his tenure. When from an abundance of premium draft picks and turn that into one of the oldest roster in the NFL with mutiple injury prone player across the board. Roster has a complete failure of asset allocation, which has lead poor roster balance, look at OL.
I would even touch this guy. Now please lay this resume for Grier.
