Kellen Moore expected to be Saints coach [Feb 10 — Fletcher Mackel: mostly done deal; intro press conference to be later this week]

That the literal job of a GM. That's exactly what they do???

Trey also did not "run into easy sacks" he dominated with a 28% pass rush win rate.

Of course a GM should listen to his HC but you also need you form your own opinion. 90% of this board wanted him back. You look at the analytics, the film, etc and make a decision. Mickey made the decision to let him walk and it was a terrible decision we have been trying to recover from for years.
A lot of what you're saying is true. I think the GM and Pro Personnel guys need to have their own grades on our players and have questions for coaches that aren't utilizing the players they've been given. That said, when making choices each off season with zero cap space, what is the GM to do? Re-sign a player the coach won't play and doesn't prioritize or try to find one that the coach will play.
