Apparently Lurie wants a "football guy"

[Raptor]

To be the lead dog...I'm guessing the two years was enough to convince Lurie Kelly could handle being the point man.


Just like Reid, Chip is now the guy,and I think Gamble was just an unnecessary "extra" position for the new model.....just business.

Shit, Diggle and I may owe him an apology.

Looks like Chip was the puppet master the whole time. He fired Gamble and got Howie out of his way. I like Kelly but I hope he has a better draft than last year. Thank you Miami we were close to have 2 OLB who can't play in the NFL.

How do u know this? Cox was widely viewed a bust until this year.

We have seen this pattern before...I think Lurie did this

....he wants and knows the value of having a football man being the point man for a football franchise.

The similar pattern with Reid /Banner is too much of a coincidence.


Lurie's team.

By idiots, maybe.

I honestly don't see how anything is different today than it was 24 hours ago. Howie is not going anywhere. His new title is Executive Vice President of Football Operations -- and he got a raise! He still reports directly to Lurie. Kelly is still going to be unhappy and he's still going to bail. Likely as soon as after the 2015 season.

Can we expect this post from you every January just with a new year inserted?

What? Howie was stripped of GM duties. Chip is hiring his own "GM." This is a completely different situation. There's no reconciling between Howie's scouting department and what Chip wants.

Uh huh

[McCarthy12]

You don't see how going from Howie being involved in personnel decisions to Howie having no say in personnel decisions is different? Ok. Howie got a raise to go with his functional demotion.

[Irish George]

BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!

no... nothing is different!!!

The jury is still out on Smith. Jordan is a bust.

He's playing out of position, but I was referring to Cox.
