Hear me out.
I feel Tom Modrak said no to being GM the last couple years for two reasons.
1) didn't want TD over his head. He knew TD would have final say, over rule him on some decisions and it looks bad on the GM, Modrak.
2) He has sat back and watched TD Screw this up. As I said before, I have heard that Modrak was in FACT over ruled on his opinions in the war room and in Free agency several times. So I feel he has been biding his time till this impending Firing of TD happened.
Why do I feel Modrak will do ok. I think Russ Brandon handles all the non football crap. Tickets, marketing etc. Modrak will handle football ops only. allowing him to focus on putting a WINNING team on the field.
Winning team? Yeah. Tom Modrak took over a 3-13 Eagles. He resisted the FANS temptation of taking Rickey pothead williams and took McNabb. (Gee how did that work out? :-) The eagles went 5-11 his first full year. Year 2? 11-5. They also won their first playoffgame to make it to the 2nd round. Year 3? NFC Championships.
It was that offseason Jeffery Lurie forgot to take his prozac and stupidly fired Modrak.
TM has shown he can field a really good Offensive and Defensive line. He is good at later round talent as well. He has shown he can turn a franchise completely around in 2 years.
Now here is the kicker, I say he can turn us around in ONE year. Why? He knows this team. He knows who needs to stay and who needs to go. He knows it's strength and weaknesses. That is a great advantage to a guy taking over.
I think with TD out of the way, Modrak can do a good job for us. But time will tell.
