[QUOTE="TJV, post: 562410, member: 4300"] I think the only way the HC/GM jobs being combined in one man works in today's NFL is when there is a John Schnieder type personnel man in the organization. My guess is it was a similar situation in New England with Belichick and Pioli. To be fair, the Packers did hire a VP of football operations three months after Wolf retired, but of course Sherman had the GM job and final say. Mark Hatley had held a similar personnel position with the Bears when he was hired by the Packers and he basically took charge of the scouting staff. It was still a mistake because scouting obviously wasn’t the problem, Sherman’s decision making as a GM was. (“Obvious” IMO because Thompson kept the same scouting staff in place and the relative results speak for themselves.) Unfortunately Hatley died in July of 2004 at the age of 54. [/QUOTE]
