1. Fire Tobin after this season and replace him with a GM who has actual power/say.
2. Build a practice facility to get the team up to modern standards.
3. Expand the scouting department, again to match up with modern standards.
4. Place a team HOF somewhere in PBS, to instill a sense of honor and pride.
5. Sign a #%&$-ing Tackle that is worth a #$@%
6. Trim a lot of fat like Andre Smith, Bobby Hart, Cordy Glenn, etc
7. Draft/sign some LB's
8. Draft a QB with the top pick and use the money saved to reshape this aging/decaying roster.
9. Let AJ Green walk. He'll be 32 and his injury list is getting extensive. Use money saved to reshape this aging/decaying roster.
I feel that Tobin would have to go. Not saying everything is his fault, but if I took over, I would feel that he has to go based purely on public perception.
As far as stadium improvements and an indoor practice facility goes, that's tough. Putting money into PBS makes no sense, as the county owns it, not the team. The lease expires in 2026, so putting money in the stadium or building a nearby practice facility isn't really a good investment. One of my main orders of business would be trying to get the best land deal I can for a retractable roof stadium and practice facility, then start building there. I would definitely put a team HoF in the new stadium.
Position specific stuff really should fall under the purview of the GM, and I don't really want to be a meddling owner. If I feel I know more about what personnel moves need to be made than my GM, they shouldn't be my GM.
