After sleeping on the news that Grier would be the new GM and looking at the list of coaches he's interviewing, I am very confused and the more I reflect on yesterday's press conference, the more I feel Ross may have lied straight to our faces....
To start the press conference Ross said he was going to start fresh, with a new structure of the front office. This sounded great, as we have never really rebuilt the front office, for the last decade, one scapegoat after the next would be fired and blamed for the failure. Only to wake up on the day after black Friday to discover, like clockwork a portion of the front office would remain for the following season to fail yet again.
Here's where it gets confusing; "It's the definition of insanity", Ross said yesterday . "To do the same thing over and over," and in the very next sentence announces that he will once again fire part of the front office and keep a portion of it in tact...... Am I missing something here? I guess Ross is insane because he clearly can not see he is doing the exact same thing once again.
After looking at the coaches were interviewing, it's clear were not in the running for a head coach with any experience like Bruce Ariens or Mike McCarthy. So it made me wonder, is Ross really this inept or is there a greater scheme being put it play here.
We currently have a big dead cap hit coming next season via Tannehills contract and we do not have a high draft choice or a deep roster to attract good coaches to come here today. Could Ross, maybe planning on hiring a one year, stop gap coach for 2019 with and eye on trading our older players and building for 2020, where inevitably we would have good draft capital, good cap space and be a more attractive destination for a great coach? Would this also mean Grier is also a one year stop gap GM?
Its confusing to say the least, I just want to have a team like Ross described yesterday. A team that's a contender, year in and year out. What do I know, maybe like Walter Freys daughters, theres a hot one in there somewhere, after all the lay over front office executives maybe Grier is the hot one.
