    It consists of

    Cal
    Watson
    Eaterbunny
    Pancakes

    This isn't a joke.

    What could go wrong, total incompetence. LMAO

    Search committee for GM, HC or both? IIRC, Cal said they’ll hire the GM first and the HC will be his call. Not sure if he’s going back on that but Pancakes or not, just glad Watson is there. I’d have very little faith if it was just Cal and Easterby running the show.

    Anybody who has had anything to do with the Hopkins trade should go. That means Easterby. Cal should be removed as owner too.

    What happened to them hiring an outside firm to do a search? Or is the team listed above the people that will ultimately be making the decision on the options the firm proposes?

    I find it incredibly hard to believe that any reporter is on any search committee for any team. It immediately invalidates their ability to objectively report on the team.

    I trust you guys more with the choices and it would save me more money than hiring a firm, money I can spend on Halloween Yacht party. I believe the firm charges over a $1 million for that type of 'work'. That said, no way I'm letting Easterby anywhere near me.

    They are still involved. It's called Korn Ferry.

    This is just a nonsense conjecture that I don't believe. Pancakes? That seems pretty implausible. At least Watson is involved. He should be on some level, but more in regards to a HC, not GM.

    Can someone please explain to me exactly why his nickname is pancakes? I saw some hard-to-believe story on reddit when I looked it up, but I've never really known the origin of this.

    Please and thank you.

    Correct. Korn Ferry will make a list of recommendations and might even recommend who but ultimately it will be up to the Cal and company.

    Believe last time it came down to BoB and Lovie Smith.

    So
    So they are re-hiring the firm that came up with Lovie Smith and BoB. That sounds like a Texans thing to do.
