Same thing, to my mind. He fired Casey Smith and hired a team he thought was "better." There was a reference to them being more like "cheer leaders" in one article I read. I think he hired medical people he thought would be loyal to him and his agenda. 

Total speculation (and the worst kind, I admit) but I can't shake the feeling that the medical staff is just awful. I think you can explain last year's injury situation (that seems to be carrying over into this year) in a lot of ways, and injury-prone players is part of the conversation, sure, but...Idk, I just don't trust that the health of the players is in good hands right now. I hope they make some (public) moves when they hire the new GM that restores fan faith in that part of the organization.

I think the new GM should be a big part of choosing a new medical staff.  Just one more reason why I think we need "that" new GM--soon.

I'm also afraid we won't be getting a new GM any time soon.  So...we're stuck between a (hard place) groin pull, nagging hamstring injuries, achilles tendinitis,  and what I call "the rock"--a lisfranc injury.  All such injuries I'm well acquainted with.  Not a good analogy, perhaps, but all injuries--except the lisfranc injury--were because of inadequate training.  The lisfranc injury was because of poor foot placement in a jump, and was by far the most painful.

A new GM may not need to clean house--but he/she needs to take a good, hard look at--the whole house.
