Nice post. I hope Stephen has power of attorney, can persuade some judge that his dad is mentally incompetent ... then hire Scott Pioli as GM. ...
I hate to say it, but Jerry killed the "goose that laid the golden egg" when he fired his great front office/scout guys in the early 90s that Tex and Tom had put together in the 60s/70s/80s. It's been downhill ever since.
In fairness to Jerry, thanks Jerry, but Stephen seems to be a little less flighty and maybe can make some hard decisions without being sentimental toward players/coaches that have hung around and ingratiated themselves, without good results. Frinstance, it seems Stephen is too smart to keep unproductive cronys like Larry Lacewell around for a decade ...
