Also, former Jets General Manager Mike Tannenbaum offered this view about the Dolphins front-office model for having the prospective general manager and coach Joe Philbin share power: "There are a lot of different models that work in the NFL. I think sometimes the media makes a little too much out of who quote unquote has final say over the roster or budget. Because The most successful times I had in the nfl is when everyone’s in the same room you had really robust debate, really disagree a lot, and then come out and say hey this is the best decision we made for the orgnaization and now everyone’s going to wor their tail off to make it work I had final say for running the new yrok jets draft for seven year and not everyone agreed with the picks we made. Ultimately it had my name on it. Not everyone agreed with the picks we made. If a coach had a really strong disagreemnt with the player, we tried to find a different player, because you don’t want to set that player up for failure. I always used to say we’re going to have debate before the day we turn the cards in, because once the draft starts you have to react to what the board’s doing. To me, it goes back to preparation and communication.”

It only makes sense to me that it would work. NOW the GM cant make a pick and tell the HC to live with it and the HC cant demand a player that the GM really feels will fail. In the end they will both need to agree and the plan is in place and everyone is accountable. That is how a team works toard one goal.
 
Not sure Dawn wants anyone in her negotiation office other than the man. This is where I think a POTENTIAL difference is.

The new GM will not get much finance experience this way unless they work together with contracts. I hope Dawn is collaborative with this but the accounting world professionals sometimes dont like others to learn anything they know. Job security.
 
The more I thought about Tannebaum is really the only guy I really DO NOT want as GM. Considering he has not get an interview that is a good thing. I am not crazy about Pioli. I do not like the idea of Aponte at the head of the table either, but that seems to be going away as well.

I like the candidates they have lined up.
 
People are blowing Aponte way over board. She crunches numbers and support the football operations. She is a none factor when it comes to the GM. I LOVE the interviews they have set up. I think the GM is going to be a up and coming guy and I hope for Highsmith or Dawson even Khann is starting to grow on me,

I agree with the first part about Aponte. She is a team executive in the financial department. She will report to them GM and have nothing to do with player procurement.
She will file her nails, make coffee and hang up the holiday decorations apart from crunching the numbers.
I would love to have Gamble, Decastro, or McLoughlin. I think DeCastro stays in baltimore. I think our two best choices would be the other two guys. Gamble is highly regarded, and McLoughlin has done a great job with SanFrancisco and Seattle over the last few years. We need a GM that can find talent.
In any case, I think our future GM will come from a NFC team. Probably the OC as well.
 
DeCosta. Decastro was the Stanford guard everyone loved around here.
 
who is this DeCastro you fellows speak of? DeCastro plays guard for the Steelers, Eric DeCosta on the other hand is a GM in Limbo in Baltimore, BIG WINK, lol.
 
Why is Tannenbaum talking about the Dolphins GM job on the radio? You would think a serious candidate for the job wouldn't be talking about it in public.

Wait, he isn't a candidate? You mean Armando was wrong and full of it? Shocking.

and thank goodness too. Tannenbaum was an awful GM - as bad as Ireland IMO.
