Mr Ross has enjoyed more success than probably any of us will ever know. He didn't just get born to extreme wealth like Woody Johnson, Robert Kraft, John Mara and the Rooneys, he worked as a Detroit tax attorney and as a young guy went into business for himself and now he's become the biggest property developer in New York City. He made it himself. He is not dumb.
Whether this appointment of Tannenbaum to the football czar role works or fails is to be determined. Mike has been a consultant to the team for the past 6+ months, so they have come to know what he can do. This is not a kneejerk reaction or the result of a great performance in an interview. Mr Ross has seen what he offers and obviously was so impressed to create the role and make him an employee. Maybe they are actually being honest when they say that it permits Dennis Hickey to focus on what he does best - evaluate talent. I am open to the possibility that this can succeed. However, I fail to see the mastery that Tannenbaum brings to the table.
