Sounds good, let's see what the kid can do.

Okay, so Scott Campbell is director of player personnel, and now Morocco Brown is director of pro personnel. So what's the huge difference? To me the titles suggest that Campbell's scope is all personnel issues including college players, while Morocco handles all personnel issues related to pros only. Is there really that big of a difference? Do all clubs have both of these positions, and if so, what is so different between the two? I would think you'd have a team of scouts who would thoroughly evaluate college players, then another guy(s) for pros. I don't get it.

You've pretty much got it. Many teams (though not all) have a similar structure in some way, shape, or form. But yeah it seems that Brown will oversee trades/free agency, in-season pickups/AFL/CFL/practice squad personnel while Campbell will be his boss and continue with overseeing the college scouting.

Good news i guess, i just can't get that excited for a FO job that is so far removed from on-the-field matters.
