We have to take all these reports, speculation, twitters, lies etc with a grain of salt. Silence from OBD means everyone is guessing and no one has seen one card in the deck. I could care less about levels of credibility.
I suppose I'd worry more in other times, like Donahoe selling us Greggo or Mularkey (to keep his power after Cowher got him canned)...but I see Nix as making his selection for the right reason of getting this team headed in the right direction. Ralph should STFU and defer this hire to Nix completely, if $$ is truely no object. And if Ralph hasn't heard of him, then Nix should scream " I have ! " in his deaf ear.
Now whether I agree with the final selection or not is no matter to basically anyone but myself. Still, even if I disagree with the selection, I'll wait to see how the staff fills out and the schemes being planned before shooting the cannons at the Adm. bldg. at OBD.
Nix has been in football for 50 years and obviously knows talented players. He does not wish to see some stooge muck up his draft with poor gameday decisions and bad schemes. He shot straight at the presser in saying he liked big guys, suggesting he didn't agree with the finesse heavy roster we have now. His hire should reflect those views, I would guess.
I'm guessing the hire will be in another 1-2 weeks but it would seem this process isn't being hurried, much to the dismay of our instant gratification society.
Take your time, keep an open mind... but choose wisely, Buddy..
