[Palm Beach Post] The Post offers three possible candidates to fill the general manager position vacated by Rick Speilman on Friday.

Chris Licht, Eagles assistant director of player personnel: At 34, he has the age and background sought by Nick Saban. Quickly rose in first four years with Patriots, where he was schooled in Bill Belichick's system for scouting players  which was borrowed from Saban. Gained administrative duties in two seasons with the Eagles. Worked for Dolphins as a personnel assistant in 1995-96.

Tom Dimitroff Jr., Patriots director of college scouting: Much like Licht, Dimitroff is young (38) and has been indoctrinated in the Belichick/Saban method of scouting after working the past three years with New England. Oversaw a staff of scouts and has 12 years of NFL experience. His late father, Tom Sr., was a scout under Saban with the Browns.

George Kokinis, Ravens director of pro personnel: He is 38, with 14 years of NFL experience  all with the Ravens/Browns franchise. Was a scouting assistant when Saban was with the Browns. Moved from the college to pro personnel side five years ago and was in charge of the Ravens' advance scouting. Majored in psychology in college, which should endear him to Saban.

Who do you think will be our next GM, IMO it will be either Licht or Dimitroff.

if so, why was there all this talk about Saban doing it Belichicks way.. that quote makes it seem like Bill was the one who stole the whole "pats drafting philosophy" from Nick

Hmmmm Maybe the post should have rephrased that.

I voted for George. The Ravens have had great drafts the last couple of years.
