Man do you even know the organizational structure of the Hawks?????? JS,CAN NOT assume full control unless Jody gives it to him. That would require an altering of both JS and PC's contracts and the team structure.
Doesn't matter what YOU want, Pete has a contract that JS has NO control over!!!!! Go cry on Jody's shoulder maybe she will listen to you, but I doubt it. You have him until the end of 2025 get used to it.
PC
EXECUTIVE VP OF FOOTBALL OPERATIONS/HEAD COACH
JS
EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT/GENERAL MANAGER
JS does NOT sit above PC. His job is to WORK with the VP of FOOTBALL operations to help that VP build a winning team. One VP can not fire another VP without a structural change that must come from above both and an altering of existing contracts.
I know how they are structured.
"Now is the time for JS to assume full control..."
Is referring to changing the current failed structure. Placing JS at the top and moving forward without Pete, starting anew.
Pete's had 7 years to fix the defense, he can't, or he would have by now. Too many bad decisions. Malik McDowell, LJ Collier, Jordyn Brooks, Marquise Blair, Darrell Taylor, Ken Norton, Clint Hurtt, and trading for Jamal Adams.
Burning the upcoming draft haul on the track record above would be a disaster! To go with 6 years of some of the worst D coordinators this league has ever seen.
Paul Allen would have forced Pete into retirement years ago.
