Jim has pointedly alluded to the fact he’s got one foot out the door.

All the talk has been about the GM search. What if the GM is already known, Johnson, and the search is in fact for Jim’s replacement?
I agree BOS.
I think/hope the Aquilinis learned something from the Boudreau hiring, and that being the GM hires the coach, and the Pres,hires the GM. Rutherford is making his way to the exit and ownership is probably just trying to do their due diligence in the hiring and not make it any worse than it has to be. Johnson has got to be the front runner for the GM job but ownership has to figure out how that will sit with a new POHO.
It's all about the lowered expectations

It all points to meddling owners. All of it. The dysfunction, the seemingly irrational order of hiring management and coaches, the disengaged players...

Until those idiots sell, we are doomed to re-live these scenarios until we are ready for the box

The way they are unable to put the horse in front of the cart suggests they know nothing of the wheel having been invented.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

At least they know how to start fires.

Good bet not the first time it ends with 'gfy'.

Reason we always end up hiring from a scrap heap of yes men turds.
