It’s cliche but we need a football guy to come in and bring a fresh set of eyes to the whole operation. We don’t need a number crunching finance guy again. 

Honestly, we just need a draft guy.  I'd even be ok with a tandem operation where Rob primarily handles contracts.

We need a dude who lives and breathes football.

I'm curious now if Rob bows out if he's now shown interest in the GM role, and he's passed over as a long time internal promotion candidate? If it comes to that I'm okay with losing him as a cap expert. I think promoting him to GM is the worst decision we could make in the short and long term.

Can’t find it, but I saw an insider say the Vikings could promote Rob to something like President, AND hire a GM.

Not sure if outside GM candidates would go for that. But maybe, if Rob is basically back to doing the books but with a fancy title.

Titles are made up anyway so if that's all it takes, and he goes back to his behind the scenes contract details guy, cool. Now that he got a sniff of what it's like in the draft war room, I have no interest turning this current triangle of authority into a square of authority.

I like that idea.
