The Plan
1. Find the best capologist I can hire.
2. Fire the entire scouting department and hire anew. Millen was a terrible drafter but I think he got a lot of bad input too.
3. Start accumulating draft picks. Call all 31 other GMs and let them know that nearly
everyone is available at the right price. This obviously excludes those that my capologist tells me are too expensive to trade. I can't imagine that's too many people. The only guys I could see worth keeping anyway are Ernie Sims and Calvin Johnson.
4. Twist Marinelli's arm to bench Kitna. In a QB driven league, we need to see if we have anything to work with in Stanton.
5. Since there's still 13 games to go, I wouldn't fire the coach. But he has to know that there's no promises beyond this season. I'd be in contact with Marty Schottenheimer, Bill Cowher (of course), and even Brian Billick.
6. Fix those hideous uniforms. Too much black. How can you expect to play well when you're not dressed for success?
7. Focus on the trenches in the upcoming draft. Miami is way ahead of where they were last year because of this philosophy. Since I'm getting a top 5 pick this next draft, guys that catch my eye are OT's Michael Oher of Ole Miss and Eugene Monroe of Virginia and DE Michael Johnson of Georgia Tech. No way in hell do I draft Tim Tebow.
It's not much, but at least it's a plan.
