It wouldn't necessarily be two GMs. Stephen would be the GM. He's not going to just give up being as involved as he is now. But then again, he isn't a personnel man. That's where Jeff comes in. Jeff on the other hand, to my knowledge, isn't a businessman. He may excel at that side of it, but I'd be reluctant to hand him a full-fledged GM role. Seems like a perfect match to me.
Stephen - GM
Jeff - Director of Personnel

We all know it would never happen anyway, but should Jerry hire a GM or continue in the role himself?
I say no...I like having him in both roles and (with the exceptions of Campo's 3 seasons) do not blame the lack of success on him...
(mods, can we get a yes or no poll?)

but to hire a GM just to have one isnt the answer either...some GM's are terrible
