The Jobs

- General Manager– Will make all of the final decisions and is in control of everything ranging from submitting trades to making draft picks. However, this position weighs equally amongst the staff in terms of opinion and everyone’s say should be accounted for before he determines the best route for the team. Each member will greatly influence his decisions.
- Assistant GM – 2nd in line to the GM and assists the GM in all areas. He will explore trade options around the league and all trade offers are directed through him to then announce in the war room for discussion. If the GM is unavailable the Assistant GM is able to make draft picks and post UFA bids. Only the GM and Assistant GM have this ability.
- Head Coach – Has a key part in all decisions, but his focus is mainly on the team itself, rather than looking for trade options, etc… The draft board should be of importance to him as adding players he views as a fit for the system is critical.
- Capologist – This position will be featured more this year. This person is in charge of maintaining and keeping tabs of the current cap numbers of the team. At all times the team must account for enough cap space to make an offer and have enough cap space to make draft picks. The responsibility for correct figures will lie in his hands and an excel spreadsheet for constant updating is usually helpful. A 53 man roster must be maintained as well.
- Offensive Coordinator – Helps decide needs and works with the offensive scouts to look for help on offense. Focus on potential UFA’s and picks that could help this side of the ball.
- Offensive Scout – Is responsible for helping out with info on all offensive players, college and pro.
- Defense Coordinator -- Helps decide needs and works with the defensive scouts to look for help on defense. Focus on potential UFA’s and picks that could help this side of the ball.
- Defensive Scout -- Is responsible for helping out with info on all offensive players, college and pro.
- Positional Scout – This will be position specific. RB scout will look into RB’s, LB scout will look into potential LB’s to add to the team.

I would like to apply to be a scout/adviser, or something of that nature. I'm up for anything though.

I'm all in for being a scout. I'm not attached to either side of the ball so what ever works for you.

I am more familiar with defense, so I would like DC or Defensive Scout, whichever one you would prefer for me.
