what would be some of the questions that you would ask to see if the person is fit to fill the vacancy ?
Great twist on the more generic "who do you want for GM; who do you want for HC" questions Eli!
Mine for a GM:
1) Talk to me about the player-personnel landscape for the next 5 years. Where do you see the cap going, how do you view FA, what do you see with the rookie wage scale?
2) What is your 2 yr goal? 3 yr goal? 4 yr goal? and 5 yr goal? (the simpleton answer is obviously always "superbowl every year", but that's not how it works)
3) What identity do you see this team taking on with you at the helm? Offensive? Defensive?
4) If every coach were available to you, which would you bring in to coach your team? (After he answers): Now talking about only the coaches available, which do you want to pursue the most? (the point of the dual questions would be to see how aligned his thoughts are with his ideas).
5) Walk me through how you'd build your ideal team. Through the draft? Through FA? Who are you targeting this year and next in both? What is your plan with our current player personnel?
6) What are the three most important tangible qualities you look for in a QB? What are the three most tangible qualities that would turn you off a QB?
