Very Nice.

ETA: seems like an odd time to announce it.

Make him the GM and give Loomis another title.

The title of either doesn't matter. Just make sure he's getting paid, and if someone offers more up his pay.

Extend the defensive assistant coaches too. Mike Nolan leaving is going to blow when that time comes.

And deservedly so. He has nailed this most recent draft and had a very good draft in 2016.

People are going to start trying to hire him looking at the quick success here. Need to lock him down

He leads personnel decisions

As long as Loomis is far far away from that I don’t care what they call him

yep. I like things the way that they are.

Loomis - handles the money & reports to Benson.

Ireland - offensive & defensive personnel. hires scouts to assist him.

CSP - head coach, hiring of coaches, offensive play calling, & offensive personnel.

Won’t protect him from being poached by another team, but I’m glad they’re letting him know we wanna keep him. Great hire.

I don’t like it. It sounds like we are filling the team with 53 soulless gingers.

He and Payton are good friends. Seems he has a lot of freedom here and as long as we agree to match money (which he'll at least give us a chance to do) I think he'll stay.

His last GMship didn't exactly go well. I think if he feels better about being here than possibly becoming a pariah again that will also slant him to staying.

I seriously doubt Loomis goes anywhere while Benson is alive.

Having so many former head coaches on the roster makes all the difference (Nolan, Curtis Johnson, Dennis Allen, Campbell, and technically Carmicheal during the suspension.)
