Poll: Will the Next GM be Better or Worse than McD

Post by O_Gardino »

A lot of folks here have been waiting for this moment like my kids wait for Team Rocket to get blasted by Pikachu.

Now that the inevitable day has come, how do you expect the next GM to fair?

I'm also curious about how soon you expect Little Bobby to have a new guy in place.

My guess is we officially name James Jones the GM at the end of the season

I'm sure whoever it is will have no experience and will be worse at least while learning the position.

That would be another mistake. It'd be nice to hire someone with experience for godsake.

Sure, just stating what I think will happen

I went with about the same, but I think initially it could be worse. It's likely whoever we gets will either still have training wheels on as a GM or be a retread with limited success - and will have the whole Sarver meddling thing to navigate.

No experienced GM or hot up-and-comer wants to come here and work for Sarver - especially at what he probably wants to pay.

Server will hire the least expensive, most unproven person around. We've been through this before.

That's not to say the person he hires can't be good at their job, but it's unlikely given Sarver's history.

You're fine, I just wanted to clarify that I didn't necessarily agree with it either. I like James Jones, I think he's a good person to have in the front office. I don't think he's ready to be a GM though.

I'm just hoping and praying it's Griffin.

Didn’t Griff leave the first time because Sarver didn’t want to pay him to be GM?

Yeah, how can anybody possibly answer the poll question? Who knows? I hope he's better, how's that?

You don't know until he's hired.

It will be Jones. There always seems to be hold-overs in this org, and it is like Sarver is bringing them in, seeing if he likes them, then fires the people above them to move them into the role. Didn't we all say that when Jones was hired he was the GM in the wings. Like when Horny was forced to fire his entire staff and bring in Earl Watson as lead assistant?

If sarver hires david griffin, its a confidence boosting move for the org.
