More and better scouting please. Stop making the coaches scout, and let them concentrate on developing their players.

I honestly don’t know if Tobin needs fired, or if he just needs better information.

Look back at Tobin's coaching/scouting experience prior to becoming Director of Player Personnel in 1999.
It's basically zilch.
Played two years in Arena Football then joined a NFL FO for a couple years before getting promoted to this.
Feels like he got the job primarily because of who his dad was.

I'm confident Tobin built experience along the way, but it feels like he's dependent on the coaches a lot for input/feedback.
And when the scouting department is so small, you also have to pull in the coaches.

Or maybe they get their scouting info from this board
