The connection has already been completed. Gaines was the connect so he Matt Bazirgan is who we are signing from the Texans 😉

I just looked at their roster. Don't see anyone I'd bring in, even on the bottom half for depth.

Guess he needed a winner on his resume. 🙂

Jets and Texans the teams on this guy's resume....

 

I hope he's looking to make a change because those teams didn't listen to his advice.

[FilthyBeast]

Unless I missed the news somewhere, this must be a preemptive move by Beane to replace someone that Schoen and the Giants are going to poach for their front office since they recently dumped some long time scouting folks after the draft.

 

But I also share the concern that this might not even be a great hire looking at the Texans and what a dumpster fire the entire organization is right now.

In his spare time he also has been helping out the Pittsburgh Maulers of the USFL.

I’m not sure I want anyone from the Texans anywhere near this team.

We’ve got a couple now.

[First Round Bust]

would not have happened with the insights and recommendations from Gaine who worked closely with the candidate who has 22 years of experience.
they interviewed others so had the ability to compare and contrast candidates as well
this is the Schoen replacement on the management team ?

Texans & Jets? Yikes! Only missing the Jags. Don't do it Beane!!!! Run away!!

He’s not the owner or the GM.  He can suggest a lot of players but the GM and, it seems in those 2 places, bad ownership can say no.  Or players can choose to go elsewhere.  Or coaches didn’t do a good job developing players acquired.

 

The guy has experience, knows how the league works and is in a better organization with an owner who will spend money and an elite GM-HC combo.

 

Relax.

Even though you know absolutely nothing about the guy.  I’m sure this guy was part of the problem 🙄 

[DCofNC]

Gotta wonder how hard it is to even get an interview with those ***** shows on the resume.  I’m sure he had his list of “ I said this guy, they did this”

No offense, but I will trust Beane's judgment on this hire vs. your concern.

If they did the exact opposite of what he said, this guy will be a rock star

Lots of quality folks work for dumpster fires. 

[Kmart128]

Think this means Gaine is gonna be promoted to AGM finally

[RoyBatty is alive]

Fans pre-emptive judgmental call based on where this guy worked it so predictable.

 

 

Same  ignorant mentality would never ever even look at any Texans (Quessenberry) or Jets (eg Crowder) players.
