So here is the CRAZY idea. Let's be honest. We are all in shock. Us fans are shaken. I don't know how the players feel but I have to imagine they are a little shook up too. JC, Poe and Maclin gone. Alex Smith on his way out. DJ and Tamba also hanging by a thread. There isn't much in the way of potential GMs out there on the open market. Too late in the year. We let Ballard go to the damned Colts so the obvious replacement for Dorsey is already gone. The ship is in a hurricane, the Captain just went overboard and I'm wondering if the owner of the ship isn't drunk and passed out in his cabin. We NEED an immediate GM replacement to give the fans and the players a sense that everything is actually under control. We need to get back a sense of STABILITY. Rushing a choice for a new GM would be a MISTAKE. We need some TIME to find Dorsey's replacement but we need someone to create a sense of STABILITY and CONFIDENCE while we conduct an ORDERLY search for a new GM.
Ask Dick Vermeil to take command as "Interim GM". 6-8 months.
He wouldn't do it as a long term "job". He's enjoying being a "gentleman winery owner". But he is a friend of Reid so no conflict there and he is well respected. He's got a Super Bowl ring and surely knows football. He would soothe all the frayed nerves and give fans and players a sense of confidence while he and Hunt conducted an un-rushed search for a new GM. In short he'd be a respected figurehead that bought us some time to conduct a sensible search for a new GM.
What do y'all think? Has the shock of losing Dorsey caused me to completely lose my mind?
