    Steelers are one of the best drafting teams in football. Can't hurt to get a guy from there.

      Agree! They score big in the later rounds.

        Steelers, Seahawks and now recently the Cardinals seem to draft really well. Someone in those front offices would be nice.

          Well if this is who they are bringing in it's pretty clear that he's not the last say, that's for sure. This certainly solidifies The Ferret as the guy running the whole show.

            Its a collaboration Honestly nobody is running the show that is the problem. They all have their role. Howie do the contracts, Tommmy D running the day to day operations, Dougie P doing the coaching and Lurie thinking of the best ways to screw it up.

              This is a guy who you would bring in who would have little clout, and be non threatening to Howie. I assume Jeff is shooting for a drama free front office, and I get that, but this might not be conducive to bringing out the best in everyone. I used to feel that one of Andys biggest mistakes was in surrounding himself with too many yes-men. A certain amount of diversity is a good thing.....but, maybe we will be OK. We have some diversity....but might have too much go-with-the-flow. Bears watching........

                Sounds more like a rudderless ship unless you pitcher the Ferret as a Captain. Porked before we even start. White helmets are next. What's King Hill doing these days? We're going to be picking early for the next decade or until this guy sells the team.

                  Steelers always seem to have LBs , RBs ,O linemen and are usually stoudt in the DT area
                  We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.

                    I agree, but he's just a kid in their program. He's certainly no threat to Howie.

                      don't much care if he has pimples, a pocket protector and his virginity , if he knows what he's doing. If he worked for the Steelers and Donohoe thinks he's worthy, I'm good with it. Plus he looks stout enough to knock Howie on his ass.

                        Nothing against him, just disappointed that Lurie was full of crap about changing the FO.

                          We might be misreading this, Popper. However it would make me feel a bit better if they were to select an established, credited personnel guy who might truly wield some authority.

                          Hey, this report is only that he is one guy they are going to talk to.

                            Who will the Eagles hire?

                            Several new candidates have emerged in the Philadelphia Eagles' search for a player personnel executive. Here are the latest updates, via Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
                            Brandon Hunt

                            Earlier, Steelers president Art Rooney II confirmed the Steelers gave the Eagles permission to interview Pittsburgh pro personnel coordinator Brandon Hunt. Jeffrey Lurie and Howie Roseman met with Hunt on Thursday. Now he'll meet with Eagles senior director of player personnel (and former Steelers GM) Tom Donahoe on Friday. It's believed Donahoe has a lot of influence in this hiring process, so that seems to bode well for Hunt's chances.


                            Morocco Brown

                            Brown (pictured above) served as the vice president of player personnel of the Browns (fittingly enough) before getting fired earlier this month. Prior to joining Cleveland after the 2014 NFL Draft, Brown had spent six seasons in Washington from 2008-2013 as the director of pro personnel. Shortly after leaving Washington, NFL insider Jason La Canfora reported that Brown is primed to be a general manager one day. It was believed the Redskins made a mistake by not elevating him higher.
                            Dwayne Joseph

                            Eagles director of pro scouting is reportedly an internal candidate. Joseph was hired by the Eagles in May after the 2015 NFL Draft. Some more background on Joseph, via ChicagoBears.com:
                            "Dwayne Joseph is in his second season as Associate Director of Pro Personnel after spending the 2012 season as Chicago’s Assistant Director of Pro Scouting. This is Joseph’s second stint in the Bears front office, previously spending six seasons (1998-2003) in Chicago’s football operations department including the last three (2001-03) as Director of Player Development.

                            Prior to rejoining the Bears, Joseph has spent eight years (2004-11) with the Miami Dolphins, serving as a pro scout in seven of those eight seasons. He also served as Miami’s Assistant Director of Pro Personnel in 2007."

                            Mark Dominik

                            The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager is currently an ESPN analyst. McLane reports that Roseman spoke with Dominik but the former executive would rather work in television for now.
                            ...
                            The Eagles are reportedly expected to make a final decision on their new personnel hire within the next week or two.



                            We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable.

                              Give me the guy from the Steelers. They draft well and they get more hits than misses on both sides of the ball.
