Don't you think the GM should be in charge of the coach, and not the other way around? That's kind of the danger I was alluding to in the post you quoted. If we're going to put an expert in charge of building the team, someone who can/will ultimately be judged on the merits of how he does it and if needed, be held accountable (something you and I have agreed on for years), then shouldn't that guy be able to have some say in whether or not the coach understands how that team is meant to be played? I mean, it's all a collaboration, obviously, but on the accountability scale, I believe the coach should not be more powerful than the GM. That's what I'm saying. You disagree?
The coach is lower in the pecking order than the GM. GMs hire and fire coaches. Isn't that in the very same alignment as what I was saying?
