The majority of us want the owner to hire a GM and turn it over to him, at least that's my take.
There are others that want him to step down and turn it over to his son, which defies all known logic to me....and mankind.
But let's say he does decide to hire a GM. Is he going to hire one better than he's been or one worse? His ego is tied up with his team. Another's success accentuates his failure.
Who do you think might have been his first one he hired? Larry Lacewell? Hiring friends is as bad as hiring family.
Look at who Snyder turned his team over to in the beginning, that Sopranos cat Vinny Cerrato, the Lions let Matt Millen sink their ship and Snyder upped his play when he hired a drunk as his GM who promptly got hammered in the coaches booth, got kicked out and ended up in the press box and fired.
We're beginning to see turnover at the GM level that rivals HC's and does the owner's hiring of HC's give us a clue as to his hiring of a GM?
Be careful of what you wish for and before anyone writes they couldn't do any worse, oh yes, they could do a lot worse.
Our two best hopes are that 1) he finally gets it, begins working full time and is able to be a top rate GM or 2) we get lucky. I am not so sure I would hope that he hire a GM.
