GM Candidates, including Jimmy Raye (merge)

[ColtsStrong86]

Think Jimmy Raye may be be stepping in as GM given the fact that he interviewed for San Fran's GM? Irsay seems methodical, so I'm sure he has someone lined up.

Hope not.

 

[masnerj]

I have been saying this on the Grigson fired thread all along. I say the most likely thing to happen is Raye being promoted to GM and having the choice of keeping or firing Pagano. 

 

What is the alternative? Peyton (not happening guys, not unless someone works with him for a year or two or more)? Gruden (ship has sailed imo)? other GM candidates (we would have heard rumors and no way he does so without a formal interview or meeting)? 

[jshipp23]

That would suck...

[1959Colts]

Wasn't it Raye who was instrumental in the aquisition of Daniel Adongo?

You've asked this before. What makes you think that's the case?

So?

[coltsfanatic24]

I think it will be Gruden's choice.

Potentially with Peyton brought in to learn as well

[MTC]

Saw this on Twitter. Well put.

 

 

[Mr. Irrelevant]

Come to think of it, Raye could be perfect, if Peyton is brought in too to learn the trade.

[chad72]

I think this might be the most team-friendly option if Pagano and his coaches are retained.

[Fisticuffs111]

I think it'd be kind of lazy but what do I know, he could very well be a good GM given the chance. At least he's experienced.

Come on.....

 

You have no idea if it would suck.

 

You don't know Jimmy Raye or what he wants to do or if he ever disagreed with Grigson?

 

He might be good.

 

I'm not saying he should be promoted....     I'm just saying we don't know if he'd be bad....

If we a changing I want a complete clean start nobody associated with old regime...Gruden and Manning or the Shanahans would be great..

Possible.  Only thing that i would find odd about this is why it would have taken this long to make that move. Could have done that weeks ago. Unless the Manning negotiations are what pushed it this far back?  How about Manning and Raye working together, i like the sound of that lol.

Raye steps into Ryan's job, and Peyton steps into Raye's old job. Pagano to be reevaluated. That's what I'm thinking.

Please God No

...and I'm sure he has some input in our recent picks,,..which were good

 

Sounds like a lot of the Grigson exit was powered by personality

[jet1968]

No thanks to any current front office personnel.

[oldunclemark]

Jimmy Raye III was invited to the NF:"s inaugural

'General Manager Workshop' last spring

 

..for what its worth

[jet1968]

Werner couldn't rush the passer 

richardson was a terrible running back

dorsett is sub par

[Fisticuffs111]

Actually, the more I think about it the more I'm okay with it.

He has a lot of experience and did some good things with the Chargers. And he's well liked.

[azcolt]

Now that Trump is President, maybe it's ok to be indelicate and ask, Was Raye a serious candidate for 49ers or the token minority interviewee?

[BProland85]

Please God no! I would think Irsay would go bigger than him for change.

no..look up Jimmy Raye and Jimmy Raye III

[ColtsFanMikeC]

Irsay just said in his presser "Coach Pagano will be going to be working closely with Jimmy Raye" and sounds like the 2 of them are heading to the senior bowl together next week.

Yea, I'm speechless, too.

[danlhart87]

Jimmy Raye is probably the favorite 

I'd like Caserio or DeCosta

[21isSuperman]

DeCosta isn't leaving Baltimore.  I'd like Caserio, but I don't think he's leaving New England

[WarGhost21]

I'll do it!! Or we could petition for the Forum to be in charge! lol

Seriously though by the way Irsay was talking I think that Jimmy Raye will be our GM

[corgi]

If Pagano is indeed coming back it really won't matter much, at least for 2017.

[danlhart87]

Didn't irsay say raye and him are gonna look for another gm?

[21isSuperman]

Chris Ballard seems like an interesting candidate.

He said Raye will be interviewed for the spot.  I think Raye is going to be the interim GM since he and Pagano are going to the Senior Bowl on Monday

[LJpalmbeacher2]

Don't matter with pags coming back.

[lollygagger8]

I'll take a stab an say Jimmy Raye gets the nod 

[corgi]

I could be wrong but, didn't the 49ers say "no thanks" to Raye?
