My Vote goes to Keim. Think about it, a guy thats drafted the likes of Fitz, Boldin, Adrian Wilson, Karlos Dansby, brought in Warner. Not to mention, he resides in our division so that’d be nice. What I don’t get is how come theres no Collegiate Scouting Directors on here, I mean C’Mon, a guy who’s only job it is is to seek out the best prospects in the nation. Having said that here’d be my Top 3.
1. Keim
2. Schneider
3. Heckert

Eric DeCosta should be the pick. This guy has a lot of power and influence in the league and ran the Raven organization pretty well.
I like his idea of not necessarily specializing in offense or defense, but concentrating on getting talent on both sides.
The list consists of people who come from a 34 defensive schemed team… are the Seahawks interested in changing the defense? That causes speculation to getting rid of Mora and company.

trefizzle, they are talking about his son. Jimmy Raye III, who is apparently somewhat competent, unlike his dad

Mueller? If the search firm came up with Mueller they should be fired. That guy is a cancer. If you are going to pass on a high character guy like Holmgren, you cannot find someone who is more anti-Holmgren than Randy Mueller.

Mueller traded Rick Mirer to Chicago for a #1 that became Walter Jones, drafted Shawn Springs, Pete Kendall, Ituli Mili, Joey Galloway, Philip Daniels, Anthony Simmons, Ahman Green, DeShone Myles,
Not too bad for 4 drafts with the Seahawks, Grabbed quite a few good players for New Orleans too.

mad555, you obviously don’t know much if you don’t know about Eric DeCosta. Ravens better not let him go.

Jimmy Raye? He’s also the OC in SF. Wow, that guy works hard.

It’s not really that hard to be an “elite” team when you have the other teams’ signals.

“PFFFFT says:

Why would they? Mora Jr. sucks and that would imply they’d keep him.
Also surprised to see Mueller’s name in the mix. This guy has laid an egg everywhere he’s ever worked. How does his name keep surfacing for vacancies? It blows my mind.

Nope – Patriots are not the premier team. Sorry. They have a losing road record and scare absolutely no one in the playoffs.

Do you think they’d want to talk to Ted Thompson about it?? Seriously…

Interesting that with all the criticisms of how the Patriots are overrated they have two candidates in the running. Could it be that fans of other teams just don’t know shit and are blind or could it be the Patriots are still the premier organization in the league?

Why don’t I see Jerry Jones on the list?!?

“We’re also told that the Seahawks plan to have the G.M. report to someone else.”
Too many cooks in the kitchen.

The only one worth a damn is Eagles “G.M.” Tom Heckert. Tom is the guy who finds Andy the players to chose from and Andy makes the picks. Most of the Eagles key players are homegrown picks. I have a hunch that Tom will be the guy.

I know Heckert doesn’t do all that much for the Eagles, but I really don’t want to see him go in the middle of the season…

Wow, no love for Jim Mora, Sr. I mean it would help with the communication between the front office and head coach for the next two weeks …
