I said when Rex was fired, that unless he was the voice of the Rex hire, he should have a chance to hire a coach like most GMs do.
However, I dont think that McDermott was his hire either. We cant be sure of that since only a small handful of people know for sure what was said and who wanted who, but most people say it was the Pegulas who wanted him.
So my questions are, whats the point of having a GM who you obviously dont trust for the big decisions? Is this front office disfunction or a GM who sucks? And if its the latter, then why is he still here with a 4yr extension?
