He's never really had a plan as our GM and has no idea how to even go about putting one in place. And to arrogant/stupid to admit he doesn't know how to do it and hire somebody who does.
Mike's plan seems very "what am I required to do? Ok, I'll do that." I'm not required to hire a GM, so I'll do that. Not required to build a practice facility. Not required to give players gatorate or shampoo for free or do other things that improve morale and keep up with other franchises. Not required to hire a bunch of scouts. Not required to sign a bunch of free agents or trade players or move around before during or after the draft. Not required to have a ring of honor.
What do I have to do? Well, I can't make my family coaches...the NFL will catch onto that so they're all front office people. I actually have to use the draft picks every NFL team gets...that's fine, works for me but I don't have to wheel-n-deal for more picks..that's stressful and not required. I've got to spend a certain amount of money...damn NFL.
And so on. Mike Brown just doesn't do many things that aren't required by the NFL. So be it.
