FYI, for those calling for Chris Mara's head...

Eric from BBI : Admin : 12/4/2017 1:44 pm
I am hearing he wasn’t pleased with how this was going and was likely on the same side of the fans with this one… for those that want his neck too.
That may be true  
Nomad Crow on the Madison : 12/4/2017 1:47 pm : link
but he is terrible at his job.
Can you be more specific?  
Scuzzlebutt : 12/4/2017 1:47 pm : link
No one could have been pleased with this season. What specifically wasn't he pleased about?
Obviously he needs a job  
HomerJones45 : 12/4/2017 1:49 pm : link
There are more fails than benching Manning and he needs to take his share of responsibility as pro personnel vp. Make him entertainment director, food and beverage chairman or vp of hot dog temperatures but get him the hell out of personnel.

How do you know? How could you possibly know how good he is at his job? Have you read his scouting reports? Do you know which guys he fought for?
I'd wager that the folks who want Mara gone  
Modus Operandi : 12/4/2017 1:50 pm : link
Don't even know where his responsibilities begin nor end.

Typical BBI.
sorry

I believe Mara is essentially the coordinator of the two scouting departments. (College and pro) However, I don't think he has the hiring/firing authority over those departments, the GM does. Ross is the head of college scouting.

That works both ways. Everyone wants to put the blame on the coach and GM, but how much influence has Mara had? How much of the blame should Reese get?

glad he took time away from watching his precious horsies to express his displeasure at the situation, that he in part is accountable for.
Les beat me to it!!!  
Jint Fan in Buc Land : 12/4/2017 2:13 pm : link
I loathe this silver spoon douche!!!
Wish one of the beat writers would ask John about Chris Mara  
FranknWeezer : 12/4/2017 2:15 pm : link
and what exactly he does here, whether he bears any responsibility for this situation, etc. Won't happen.

good question. does he realy have any say in personnel decisions? or is he just like a borad member/overseer for ownership.
"board member"

Well wouldnt that he the same For Reese to an extent? I wanted Reese
Gone when they fired TC. Now It's repeorted he didn't want McAdoo.
How much power did he have? He's gone.

There major dysfunction across All levels. Upper Management and ownership is not blameless. Also his title implies duties relating to players and player evaluations. Maybe it's an empty title but it's not unreasonable to want a total house cleaning in that area. .
It just isn't healthy to have an employee who can 't be fired

If Chris Mara is fantastic at his job, then he can get a job with another team.

I’m sure his daughter Kate was in his ear too!

LOL
So Chris Mara is SVP of Player Personnel,  
Section331 : 12/4/2017 3:58 pm : link
we all agree the personnel sucks, but we're equally sure that Chris Mara is not part of the problem. Do I have this right?
