Something has been on my mind here lately. The discussion around here lately has been Katie Blackburn has been running things.
The reports said that it was Katie, not her dad Mike Brown, that did every single interview. Not only was she doing the interviews, but she was traveling all over America to do those interviews.
While her dad is still the one signing the checks, she's the one doing the ground work.
She was out there traveling to make sure she got the best coach for the job. She interviewed ever single candidate that we as fans could of hoped for.
Early indications are that it's going to be Zac Taylor. Sean McVay created a position for him on the Rams coaching staff after being blown away by his interview, naming him assistant WR Coach before becoming QB coach, McVay said that he was 'over qualified' for the job he gave him from reports I've read.
Even Jon Gruden said he was going to be a good head coach. I've heard nothing, but similar praise from everyone who has worked with him.
This franchise was created by the Paul Brown, the man who signed the first ever African American athlete in Pro Sports history.
He fought for equality in sports. He wanted the best player period! As Jim Brown said 'If you did things his way, you never had to worthy about anything else.' You were set and you had a friend for life.
Well, this franchise has a chance to be innovative and break barriers again.
As we all know Zac Taylor could come in here and go 12-4 or 4-12 just as easily. I know that, you all know that. Plus, it's still early. We have the draft, free agency and still have to fill out the rest of the coaching staff.
But if this turns out to be a slam dunk coaching hire and we win our first playoff game in years, does Katie Blackburn deserve to be the first ever, to my knowledge, female NFL executive of the year?
I think she does.
What are your thoughts on this?
Do you all think Katie is essentially running the show?
