    Its a risk. Maybe you just make him chief scout if he's still going to drink. Send him out on the road with a driver.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    SOME INTERESTING FEATURES

    One big question is whether Murphy’s pursuit of Schneider, Oakland’s Reggie McKenzie (turned down the interview), Minnesota’s George Paton (interview denied by the Vikings while they’re still in the playoffs) and Baltimore’s Eric DeCosta (no reports that he accepted the interview) is part of a real search, or a formality with Murphy knowing all along whom he’s going to hire

    AND THEN...........
    I can see why coach Mike McCarthy would have concerns about Ball as GM, as has been widely reported in the last couple days. One NFL source told me that Thompson and Ball have been in lockstep on the team’s approach to acquiring players, which is the most draft-oriented approach in the NFL

    I've seen it written that it would take a 1st or 2nd round pick to land Schneider IF we could

    Can I make that Call ?

    DEAR PETE.....Bretsky here; we'd like to send you a 2nd round draft pick for Schneider

    Bretsky, I think we can make that work

    Thanks Pete, Jason Spriggs is on a plan for Seattle; he'll be there in about a half hour.


    Thanks for your business.

    It would be an absolute damn shame to give up a draft pick just to get a GM, I don't care who it is.

    The guy is a legitimate reporters (or, at least works for legitimate outlets). Whether he knows what he is talking about here is anyone's guess.

    BTW, there is a feeling in Seattle that Schneider's best drafts were with Scot McCloughan in the room.

    We once traded a pick for a coach and then a 1st for a guy who went in the 2nd the year before and sat on the pine for that year. It worked out ok.
    I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.

    I would be ok with giving up a pick for Schneider... would rather do that than just hand the reins over to Ball, which is what I think is going to happen.

    Scot McCloughan has been run out of three other franchises and has an admitted drinking problem. You can't put him in charge.

    At best you put him on top of the scout department.

    More than any scout, Ball gets his marching order directly from Thompson and he is under orders not to talk to the press.

    We wouldn't know his approach until he had the job. Schneider and McKenzie didn't take about differences until they left for other teams. Spoon even says as much in the next paragraph.

    What we won’t know unless and until he sits in the GM seat is whether he would maintain that approach while in charge.
