When Bob Quinn set off on his coaching search 36 days ago, he said he wanted to find someone who had a strong opinion about the personnel of his football team.
"I do want someone that’s opinionated," Quinn said at the time. "I think that’s the most important relationship in this building is between the head coach and the general manager, so we have to be on the same page of what kind of players that the head coach wants, that we can communicate back and forth about guys that fit, the guys that don’t fit, whether that’s current players, or whether that’s free agency or whether that’s the draft.
