Sorry for the nasty subject, but seriously, is there any real scouting going on anymore in the league? I'm amazed by the number of signings that involve former coaches and players reuniting.
Here's a few examples, and some web work would probably generate many more:
S Marquand Manuel from Seattle to Green Bay (Thompson)
Off. Coor. Darrel Bevell to Minnesota (Childress recruited him out of high school years ago, and the UW connection)
OG Artis Hicks from Philadelphia to Minnesota (Childress)
WR Todd Pinkston from Philadelphia to Minnesota (Childress)
OC Mike Flanagan from Green Bay to Houston (Sherman)
RB Ron Dayne from Denver to Houston (Kubiak)
TE Jeb Putzier from Denver to Houston (Kubiak)
TE Ben Steele from Green Bay to Houston (Sherman)
OL Adam Goldberg from Minnesota to St. Louis (Linehan)
QB Gus Frerotte from Minnesota to St. Louis (Linehan)
S Corey Chavous from Minnesota to St. Louis (Linehan)
LB Raonall Smith from Minnesota to St. Louis (Linehan)
The list could go on and on.
After a while, you start to think that maybe you aren't getting a secret find that the former coach knows, and maybe they just don't know anything about anyone else.
On the bright side, at least MM didn't raid the Niners when he came to GB...
