Pete made it sound like John is staying in his press conference. It's a good listen.I doubt John stays.

As the GM, he should now already have sole control over front office decisions going forward.John's contract runs through the 2027 nfl draft, if I'm not mistaken
They should impress upon him, NO more big $ trades involving high draft picks.
Please bring in 2-3 solid offensive lineman and address our DT, LBer and the safety situation this offseason.
Let's hope JS will quickly develop a good working relationship on the fly with the new coach. I hope John gets a chance to have sole control over front office decisions at least until he makes some poor choices. Maybe he can find our franchise QB of the future, this offseason will be interesting.

The huge trades are ones the organization made. JS's own trades are lots of trade-downs to pick up draft capital and extra players--which he is a genius at.John's contract runs through the 2027 nfl draft, if I'm not mistaken

I feel the same way. The stupid trading away of 1st round picks and good players (Max Unger) seemed like "Pete Hormonal moves" to me. I also believe Pete allowed position coaches to over rule John and pick the guys they wanted. That's how we ended up with players like James Carpenter and Dee Eskeridge.I have a feeling JS is and has been the brains behind personnel and may have fought tooth and nail, and likely was vetoed, on quite a few moves.
Mostly speculation but, if he’s staying, it’s a good indication that it’s partially true.
This is spot on and it’s been leaked that exactly what you think happened actually happened. After today it’s pretty obvious Pete has a massive role in roster construction after Pete said “John finally gets his chance”I feel the same way.

And the phenomenal drafts we've had the past 2 years, my money's on Schneider making those decisions.
I think he would've simply left if the veto stuff was that prominent. Not like he hasn't had offers.I have a feeling JS is and has been the brains behind personnel and may have fought tooth and nail, and likely was vetoed, on quite a few moves.

I don’t think he was a mere lackey. But, PC as Head Coach and Executive VP certainly had more sway over personnel decisions and even alluded to as such in his farewell presser.I think he would've simply left if the veto stuff was that prominent. Not like he hasn't had offers.
It takes a pretty cushy gig to stay as the technical number 2, despite being coveted league wide, for 14 years under the same dude.
I think this was more his show, personnel and draft wise, than most would like to admit. Obviously it was collaborative, but I don't think he stuck around here as a mere lackey.
Petes not staying.I think Pete is going to be involved in player evals, once a new coach is hired you start looking for guys that fit his system, John seems to have a knack on the offensive side, Pete isn't bad he has found a few guys there also Carson was a hand picked guy by him, but on defense Pete shines. They have a great system and work well together in that aspect.
