The same Doug Whaley that said Jack Ham would be a back up special teamer in today's NFL? That guy? **** that guy.Per ESPN's Brooke Pryor, Khan wasn't the team's top choice for GM.
I'm not able to copy and paste the full article. Apparently, they wanted to hire Doug Whaley because they recognized Khan's shortcomings, but they didn't want to lose Khan as a result of him not being promoted. So, if this is true, even the brass knew that Khan wasn't the guy from a talent/experience standpoint. In short, our GM isn't even the guy that our ownership wanted. Think about that.
ESPN NFL insider Brooke Pryor joined the show. Brooke joined to talk about the Omar Khan promotion to general manager. She backed up what Jeff referenced about Khan surrounding himself with people that strengthen his shortcomings. She expects Andy Weidl will be very involved and Mike Tomlin will continue to have a big role in the talent evaluation process. She thinks Kevin Colbert will stick around for a year or two to make the transition as seamless as possible. Brooke can see a modernization, but still thinks the Steelers stick to some of their old ways. Brooke mentioned that Doug Whaley really impressed the team, but they did not want to lose Khan and Brandon Hunt (Hunt has since left for Philadelphia).
Brooke Pryor says an interesting name impressed Steelers - The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller
