Well, I've come around to the thinking of guys like Petro and others. I personally think we should hire the COACH first and let him have some say in who we get as GM.
We've tried the other way for the better part of 40 years and it hasn't worked. The last time we had a coach with as much or more power than the GM (Stram), we won it all.

I don't believe the structure matters as much as the people.

Look all around the NFL at the successful teams and the coaches are equal too or slightly above the GM in terms of say...

Jerry Reece and Tom Coughlin.
Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy.
Micky Loomis and Sean Payton
Bill Polian and Tony Dungy
Not opposed to the idea of a different structure, but your claim is off the mark.
