We may lose Weidl

We may lose Weidl. Our choice is Khan or him.

How many times were articles written about how we were going to lose Kahn because we held on to Colbert?

Kahn has proven himself to be a good GM so far.

I also like Weidl and hope he stays.

 

I'm not worried about it Weidl has interviewed for other jobs previously and stayed.

 

i sure hope weidl stays. especially at this time with a clean slate available to them. would like to see what they can do without MT and these hire's and the draft in pittsburgh.

 

Old news @Joel Buchsbaum

@Karl posted this before you he just didn’t need to start a new post

 

Hopefully he decides to finish what he started

Again...how many times did they write articles like this about Kahn? He interviewed for open GM positions many times.

It's hard to get those jobs.

Your framing that the organization is going to choose between the two isn't what's happening here. Kahn is the GM. Weidl is his helper.

I hope we can keep Weidl. But we are not going to fire Kahn to promote Weidl.

 

He'd probably be a good GM. Just like Kahn is a good GM IMO (even though I think the mistake of going into two seasons in a row with only one NFL WR is a big one).

But there are only 32 of these jobs.

And hires are pretty nepotistic (which Kahn found out when he was first offered a job, but then had it rescinded).

 

I agree that Kahn doesn’t seem as stuck in his ways as our owner, but what has he done to prove himself to be a good GM? Our draft picks leave a lot to be desired, we overpay our over-the-hill defense, Metcalf wasn’t worth half his salary, and we still don’t have a legit WR2.

If we end up hiring Flores’ crybaby a*s, I think Kahn should be fired and someone would be wise to pull the 25th amendment on Rooney.

 

Would it really that big of a loss? Not like we won a Super Bowl or two while he was here.
