    Re: Modrak out as head of Scouting

    Adam Schefter also reports....
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    It's weird that they would do this days after the draft. Not to mention the first decent draft in years.

    I bet Nix probably disagreed with most of his assessments. And that was that.

    Re: Modrak out as head of Scouting

    Probably cause he already started scouting this draft class before Nix took over...they are always a year ahead of the current class Nix has said before. They started scouting next years draft class during last season.

    This is when you'd do it, as he wouldn't be involved in the next year's scouting. To fire him before the draft, you'd give a team a free shot at your intel from the previous year.

    Re: Modrak out as head of Scouting

    It's only logical that he leaves after the draft. No NFL team, I mean no one, will ever release your head of scouting before NFL draft. If you don't understand the implication of that, then you should not even comment on NFL draft at all.

    I wonder who will take over his job. Probably somebody already in the orginization.

    'bout time...when many wanted TD fired there were those of us who claimed Modrak was more of the problem...

    Re: Modrak out as head of Scouting

    Yeah, this was definitely in the works before the draft. Probably months ago, in fact. The scouting process for this draft started over a year ago.
