PFN's Aaron Wilson Tweeted out the eight team directors of player personnel (de facto GMs) this evening. They are:
Dallas: Rick Mueller (Jaguars director of college scouting '98-00, Saints director of player personnel '00-06 and VP of player personnel '06-08, Eagles director of pro personnel '14-16)
Seattle: Randy Mueller (Roughnecks director of player personnel in '20; Former GM of Saints and Dolphins, pro personnel director and VP of football ops for Seahawks)
San Antonio: Will Lewis (Asst. director of personnel for Roughnecks in 2020; director of pro personnel for Seahawks '99-09 and VP of football ops '10-12, Chiefs director of pro scouting '13-17)
DC: Von Hutchins (Raiders asst. director of pro scouting '16-19, NFLPA Bowl scout '19-today)
St. Louis: Dave Boller (Current player personnel assistant at ASU; was asst. director of player personnel for Renegades in '20 and GM of AAF Fleet in '19; former scout with Rams and Jets, asst. pro personnel director with Lions '07-09)
Orlando: Larry Lee (spent nine years in Lions front office, director of business development for Frtiz Pollard Alliance)
Houston:: Marc Lillibridge (asst. director of personnel for Packers '00-05, Chiefs scout '05-06, EVP of player personnel, National Sports Agency 06-12, current football coach at Washington University in St. Louis)
Las Vegas: Joey Clinkscales (was director of player personnel for Wildcats in '20; former director of college scouting and VP of college scouting for Jets, director of player personnel for Raiders)
Some strong names here (some stronger than others) but really all with good NFL front office and scouting experience. Also nice to see some 2020 names return like Mueller and Clinkscales.

Re: Team Directors of Player Personnel revealed
Still no official announcement of the cities where they will go. Hmmmmmmmmm.
I know the cities have been rumored, and this is supposedly pretty solid knowledge, so beyond rumor. But, something is clearly holding the XFL back from making things official.

Re: Team Directors of Player Personnel revealed
I'm wondering if they may have 1-2 cities on "standby" just in case stadium deals fall apart or agreements can't be reached. Out of all the rumored teams D.C. is the one we've heard the least about, perhaps a bidding war of sorts between NY and DC is going on?MarkNelson wrote: ↑Thu Jun 09, 2022 11:19 am Still no official announcement of the cities where they will go.

Re: Team Directors of Player Personnel revealed
Jamie Elizondo does have a lot of experience despite not having any previous connections to Hines Ward. I don't know if the staff Becht has is a good idea as they are very raw and it could backfire on them in a big way.Tank55 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 09, 2022 10:24 am XFL makes it official, releases the DPPs and almost all of the coordinators:

Surprised that Williams wasn't with Ward because they were on the same staff with the Jets.

Re: Team Directors of Player Personnel revealed
Nice to see Jon & Jay Hayes back, though I still wish Jon was the HC in STL.
Frankly ridiculous that the league is announcing staffs without cities. How is this supposed to mean anything to the average fan when they don't even know which of these staffs they will be rooting for?
