Eagles will hire a new Personnel Head

[taz]

There you go. Lurie just said it again. That person will be the one who most likely has final say.

[FRESH]

I was very happy to hear that........as I am sure was Popper!

[Eagle60]

I just hope it really stays that way!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we might finally have some peace at NovaCare!

[RobLew65]

Now they are moving in the right direction. Let the search begin. Bill Polian? Ron Wolf?

[tinopuno]

I understand that Jeff, in consultation with a key Front Office football man, has reached a decision.
Lurie is being very secretive about his choice but TMZ has obtained pictures of the individual
as he appeared in college.


First in uniform...








And then in street clothes after a big game.....

Is that Horshack from Welcome Back Kotter?

[NoDakIggle]

Are you sure he didn't say they were going to get a personal head for the coach

[Eagle60]

I think it's still Howie. Whatever, they all just need to get along

Eagles Wake-Up Call: Roseman’s Unclear Role

The former GM’s role remains unclear as the Eagles restructure their front office.

By Josh Paunil | January 20, 2016 at 6:00 am


Midway through Doug Pederson’s introductory press conference on Tuesday, many media members broke out in laughter.

Pederson, after being asked who has the final say in the team’s new power structure over the 53-man and 90-man rosters, had just finished talking about the “collaborative effort” between himself, Howie Roseman and Tom Donahoe.


But when pressed about who breaks a tie, he paused for a few seconds, stared at the reporter, and then turned and pointed to Jeffrey Lurie. The Eagles owner, who stood several feet away to Pederson's right, laughed and raised his hand.

"You heard Mr. Lurie say that he has the final say in most situations, but I think we have the best team here to get the players in," Pederson said later. "He’s brought good players here. There’s no question about that. We’ve just got to get back on the same page, and work together in that area."

But the smiles, including the one on Lurie's face, didn't last long. Although Roseman unexpectedly spoke with the media after the press conference, he hadn't talked publicly since 2014, and it was unclear whether he would be available on Tuesday.

Lurie dodged questions about Roseman the day after he fired Chip Kelly as well, so the media repackaged the same question to try to elicit a clear response: What, exactly, is Roseman's role now?

“Well, I'll preface the questions by saying we're about to do a search for a player personnel head," Lurie said after the first Roseman question. "That will really be an important search that we are all participating in, starting this week.



"Given that search and given the competitive nature of that search, what I'd like to do is really talk to you more about structure and the exact nature of those once the search is over, because I don't want to sort of telegraph anything we're doing.”

But with his comments on the new "player personnel head" came more questions about Roseman.

Will he report to Howie?

“All questions of structure will be determined after the search is complete.”



“Can't reveal any decision on that because it would impact our ability to find the right people that we have designated in the search.”

Will he have the final say during the draft?

“You're going into questions that we will answer after the search.”

Near the end, Lurie was once again asked about who had the final say over the draft and free agency, but the Eagles owner demurred one last time.

“It doesn't quite ever work out that way; it's very collaborative," he said. "But trust me, as soon as we finish this search, accountability will be 100 percent.”

I would like to see the media leave this alone. Lurie owns a team and he should tell them that he will tell them when he wants to tell them. Hire his people and then old them accountable. You'll know who is responsible when he gets fired.

[Eagle60]

Well if you are GM then you are ultimately responsible for everything that goes on except for calling plays on Sunday. The Eagles can hire a personnel guy but that doesn't mean that he's in charge of the draft or anything else for that matter. It's Howie's call as to whether he wants to delegate things out or not. We had a personnel guy named Marynowitz who reported to Chip. Maybe Lurie makes the calls on Draft day if he feels like it. Nothing has really changed here. It's Howie and Jeff's show.

[taz]

I don't know if its Howies show, honestly Howie doesn't know. In the time the reporters spent with him yesterday in addition to taking responsibility he did say he did not know what the organization structure is.

I personally think that Howie has just as much a chance to be let go than to be here once the new personnel guy comes in. If Lurie finds a guy he likes better than Howie and that guy wants full control he is going to get it.

The interesting thing is the plan seems to Lurie plan and Luries plan only. I don't think Dougie P, Howie, Tommy D. know all of it yet. Now that may be for appearance sake but I think there are more domino's to fall yet.

Let howie handle the contracts. I will be very happy when we hire a personnel guy.

I'll be all in at that point.

It would really be a shocker if Howie goes taz. Then again, he sent his best friend packing a few years ago. If Lurie is really that pissed off it could happen I guess. But he did give him a raise to hang around last year so I doubt it.
