I could be wrong, but while Ricardi was impressive in that interview, my takeaway is that he's a fine Keith Grant replacement, not a GM.
I'd be pretty underwhelmed with that choice, but I'd go into it with an open mind. He's obviously smart, but there's zero chance he wasn't involved in figuring out the Luka thing, given that he's obviously the team's cap guy. Maybe he did voice concerns, idk, but he didn't talk them out of it, if so. If we're to believe the Dennis Lindsey hype around here (not sure if I do, to be clear), then he probably would've talked them out of it.
I think whether we want to admit it or not, Harrison did have a certain gravitas around the league that was pretty helpful, and I'd prefer to choose another guy with some of those same qualities, but sane.
I'll leave you all with this fine Sopranos clip to illustrate my point (sorry for the language if some find it offensive):
