O model works fine if you make good hires. I think he makes safe hires sometimes instead of splash hires. Brady was a splash hire.



Brady was hired basically as a consultant that worked out way better than even O could have predicted. O didn’t even have the nuts to name him offensive coordinator from jump street. I’ll give him credit for finding Brady, but he got lucky with how that turned out.

And ur right, the O model could work, but it’s gonna take him finding another guy like Arranda that’ll stick around for a bit. That was a miles hire. O has yet to hire anyone like that. If he doesn’t find that guy soon, he’s in trouble.

Edit: to clarify that I’m not actively cheering for the man to be fired. If they give him another chance to right the ship, I’m cool with that. But he needs to knock it out the park on both sides of the ball.

Not long term. People confuse the CEO model as just hiring assistants and throwing them out there to do their thing. As opposed to the real CEO model that says you have a certain amount of autonomy as long as you operate using a certain framework and philosophy. See Saban, Nick.

This is why the Canada thing went bad. If O had a philosophy, he would never have made the hire. People will say well what about last season? Ok fine, then you go find Brady 2.0, instead of riding with middling arse Linehan. Maybe you miss, but you miss for the right reasons and imo your chances of missing go way down.

“I was disappointed with the offensive game plan” I.e he didn’t know what it was. A real CEO knows where the limo is going even if he isn’t driving.
