Ben Elsner -- New Director of Football Strategy

I have said Napier was a couple thousand assistants of us winning a NC, but after last seasons results, I humbly will keep my trap shut. ​

 

It’s weird they hired from outside the Samp Gas Community!

 

ET would have been my choice!

 

Who?

"If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, as director of Football Strategy I cannot emphasize enough the necessity of our Offense scoring more and our Defense ensuring our opponents score less. Who is with me? Thank you, gotta run. I will be in my office if you have any more questions."

 

Too much wind Die, I will scale it down: "WIN em all".

 

Director of Football Strategy...fancy name...hopefully that strategy can include strategizing a semi functional two minute offense and calling successful trick plays at the opportune time.

 

I don’t think that’s in his job description

 

My point is that I believe this to be more of a general manager type job — more strategic than tactical

 

I've been extra busy this week but if this is the one I'm thinking of . . . it has more to do with NIL opportunities and application for the roster as a whole. There may be other functions though. It's very frustrating and hard to know who is responsible for what with all the coaches and co-everythings and army and their different titles. Tough to hold anyone accountable . . . which may have been the point all along.

 

Strategic and tactical are rarely used with our on-field product these days. Maybe just call him a GM and lose the fancy schmancy words designed to make people think more of that position. He is just an off field GM. That being said I still say we have someone prune the vines and slim down the payroll so we can have less expense for the 200 assistant somethings and then you can actually have a responsible party when things arent performing rather than slapping another assistant on top of something that is underperforming. Ive got a unique and original name (the likes of which the world has ever seen) its called DOGE....Department of "Gator" efficiency.

 

There's an old saying: "Too many cooks in the kitchen spoils the sauce,"

 

So is this guy our General Manager or are we going to have to make yet another hire?"

 

I believe there will be another hire he reports to....but our GM is Lafrance and he is already in place

 

Sounds good if the HC is open to better strategy.
