Above all else Mick is a miserly accountant. He can kick the can on players contracts and keep that stink down the road. Dennis still had two years on his 5y/35m left. Mick didn’t have the dried raisins to eat that loss on his bottom line.
What this shows me is he don’t know crap about football. He knows how to read a few bullet points . Everything else he defers to the head coach. He was lost when Payton left and too prideful to ask for outside help during that turbulent time. One thing Allen can do is rattle off cliches and buzzwords.
Mickeys time has passed as a GM.
