Haslam presser during the scheduled McCarthy interview this afternoon. Haslam needed a break, I guess.
Points of note...
- the head coach will be hired first and then be part of a "committee" that will hire the GM (Jimmy Haslam, DePo, J.W. Haslam, Cooper?) - Now I'm scared
- Focused on coaches with NFL experience.
- Offered Dorsey a new role in the organization before mutually parting ways
- The first 2 or 3 searches, we did NOT have a proper process installed
- DePo is leading the search but ownership will make the final decision but "not in a vacuum"
- Coach will be involved in GM search but won't have "final say", so no "arranged marriage"
- Coach and GM will both report to ownership
- Elliot will remain in his role as Assistant GM
- What to look for in a coach: Leadership, Smart, Good Football Accumen, Work within the ORG, Continuous Learner (25-30 players told Haslam Leadership was needed)
- Wants to use data/analytics to make better decisions
- Coaching search to be focused on "people with NFL coaching experience"
- GM will have final say on 53, but HC has game day 46
Will edit/add as I can...
