Which is where scouting and possibly a GM comes in.

Like, I know some people are brainwashed into thinking coaches scouting is a good thing...and coaches being involved probably is. BUT, having your coaches as the primary scouts is tough. Look at all the things ZT had to do this offseason, from hiring coaches to developing playbooks, to evaluating the roster, to the draft and free agency.

Imagine how much more effective he would have been if he had to do half of those things.

It's unrealistic to think that 1 human being can have an expert skillset in all of those areas. Or even be adequate in them all.

Hire scouts and a GM and let the coaches focus on developing playbooks and coaching. It's the tried and true NFL model.
