In reading an article Mike Florio on Pro Football Talk, a line of his vividly stuck out while assessing the Jacksonville Jaguars and the recent hire of Tom Coughlin. Coughlin now has final say over the roster, which Florio quickly dismisses:
This is a concept that sticks out. The structure can vary, but the best organizations in the NFL – the New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Green Bay Packers – don’t have to broadcast how the decisions are made. There’s no big, public show about how the sausage is made. Ted Thompson or Mike McCarthy coming together or simply the brainchild of Bill Belichick, these organizations have committed to a structure and stuck with it.
