    As long as we hire the right one, and at the moment that would appear to be Xanders, then I'm not too bothered about who declines to interview. He may even have declined to interview because he believes he won't get the gig and someone else is the favourite, but who knows...?

    The Vikings aren't a very talented team. Not worried.

    They have a ton of young talent. They need a QB.

    Too bad. He was a brilliant tactician in WWII. Think he might have really helped us.

    Way more are interviewing than not. And the ones that aren't interviewing are deciding to stay put regardless who calls... not just rejecting us.

    I like a lot of the candidates we've interviewed. Some have either chosed to stay put and some have gone elsewhere. There's still a nice pool of availible names to choose from. I don't see why some are you are so pessimistic at this point. We have the main cause of our mediocrity, Ireland, no longer the GM. We have an inept offensive coordinator(game has passed him by) no longer employed by the team. We don't know the true extent of the Philbin/Aponte dynamic and what, if any, negative affect that may have on us pursuing a GM, despite what some have reported. Not all teams are structured alike. There's no certainty that this setup will fail or not. And we're still interviewing candidates that look impressive, at least on paper. We're bound to hire one of them, and we're not even the only team with a vacancy at the GM position. Let's just see how all this plays out before we jump ship.

    Boy, I'm glad you aren't doing the hiring around here. Maybe do some actual research on some of the guys we've hired. Xanders for instance... jeez...

    Omar Kahn is not a personnel guy, Brian Gaine has been a chief member of a mediocre and dysfunctional front office, Lake Dawson comes from an equally mediocre franchise. Ray Farmer and Brian Xanders come with major questions.

    rather than go step by step and argue about your opinions here, I'll just ask, who would you hire (who didn't have a red nose and ride a small bicycle)?

    You do realize that Xanders is our best option as far as who is available, right?

    Gamble, DeCosta, etc aren't leaving to go anywhere.

    Clowns was a bad term, questionable at best is what most of these guys are.

    Every GM candidate that's available is questionable.

    Any former riders of the nonstop Ireland whine wagon have no business whatsoever jumping ship, but rather need buckets to bail water wherever and whenever it leaks.

    have to take a leap of faith on someone that hasn't been in the GM seat yet. Unless you hire someone that has failed at it. You decide. We can then question you.

    He should really work on his self esteem if that's the case.

    For one his strategies may be a little dated.
