rex-n-effect 525 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I know other teams have the GM and HC on equal footing but this is really good news for the organization that the Johnsons realize they may not have the knowledge or skills to execute that structure. This is a degree of self-awareness the Johnsons have not shown since...ever? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Chiefs have it where Veach and Reid both report to the owner but no one cares because they win. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NYJ1 1,705 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Maybe but it’s not in culture If an employee can go over the head of a manager to the boss what power does the manager really have to oversee the employee If that manager is thought to be incompetent or just lacks sound judgment, which happens a lot more often than you might imagine, then yes it is of paramount importance to go right over his head. I work with incompetent idiots, so I routinely go over their heads. Sent from my SM-G930VL using JetNation.com mobile app 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is a degree of self-awareness the Johnsons have not shown since...ever?They put that structure in place after they realised Idzik had been in over his head, but his was the only voice the Johnson's were hearing. I'd be interested to read more about the reasoning behind this change ...it definitely suggests they are 100% convinced JD is "the one".Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My sense is that in time, if the team has the success it hopes to, Douglas ascends to that role and grooms a GM. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The fans and the media have gotten themselves all twisted over this reporting structure nonsense as if it means something. It doesn't. If the CEO of a movie company doesn't like the director, he's going to be fired whether he reports to the producer or not. SAR I 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
