[QUOTE="Oannes, post: 148840, member: 816"] Stuff I made up? Go back and read Ted's own words on why he selected Harrell. Obviously, TT isn't going to come out PUBLICLY and claim Harrell wasn't his choice if he doesn't pan out. You tell me what leader of a team is going to make an important pick like the one in the first round and claim that you didn't even have a conversation with the guy and you took him because someone else felt good about him.? Let's bring this into terms we can all understand... Your boss has an opportunity to hire one individual that can really help you in your profession. He announces who you're going to be working along side and your wondering why the heck he chose this guy because you'd been hearing about some other potential hires that you really thought would help your business succeed. He then stands before you and tells you that he hired this guy to work with you because one of his right hand men liked him a whole bunch. Your boss goes on to admit that he didn't even really interview him, he may have said, "Hi" to him in passing on a business trip. To make matters worse you then learn the man hired to work with you happened to have some connection to your bosses right hand man in a previous endeavor. What are you then thinking? I would be shocked to learn my boss hired someone he never met who had difficulty showing up for work (injury history) and did it based on a connection his right hand man had to him. No leader is going to be that hands off. Did Bill Belichick say he might have said, "Hi" to Randy Moss once and that he decided to bring him in based on what someone else who had a connection to him said? No. Bill Belichick talked straight with Moss and went ahead with it because he felt comfortable with it. He indirectly took responsibility for Randy by his own words about his acquisition. Ted Thompson didn't come across like a guy who did his homework. That can't be debated with even a hint of intellectual honesty. [/QUOTE]
