If it's not starting at the top, it won't matter.
^^^^^^^^^^^^This.

So if I’m on the advisory board, the unanimous advice of the entire ”board” should be this: Join the 31 other owners who live in the 21st century and hire a talented, qualified GM. Period.

Seriously the job description is more like an internship to gather data.
Exactly..............its doing statistical analysis of data sets (I am assuming some sort of regression models, linear or best fit) collected from players during practice as well as scouting metrics.

Actually sounds pretty cool if you like statistics and live in the Dallas area.
