But it ...I'd like to be able to hire my boss, too. But it will never happen.<BR/><BR/>I think I know what you're saying, but maybe I'm way off base.<BR/><BR/>I think it's important that Hitchcock develop a working relationship with whomever the GM will be, but unless Hitchcock actually plans to <B>be</B> the GM I don't think he'll have a whole lot to do with the selection.<BR/><BR/>Hitchcock could be gone from the CBJ organization in 2/3 years (or less if things don't work out). Team owners, ownership groups, team presidents... ostensibly these are the individuals and groups that are invested for the long haul. They are also who the GM is responsible to. You wouldn't have a player hire a coach, and I strongly believe that you wouldn't have a coach hire a GM.<BR/><BR/>It would certainly help if Hitchcock and the future GM of the Columbus Blue Jackets were on the same page, but I'd be willing to bet money that this GM will be in Columbus longer than the coach will be.<BR/><BR/>One man's opinion... one that I fully expect to be called out on if I'm wrong. :)<BR/><BR/>Good scoop, guys!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
