Wow, this is really difficult stuff.
Chris, how about getting your head out of Tom's ass? Instead being an extention of his alimentary canal, why don't you examine the record?
TD's grand winning percentage for five years is .382 and going lower.
Tom's replacement is in two parts. Put a business man in charge of the non-player personnel. Hire a coach that actually showed promise as a coordinator or spend some money and get a veteran.
Won't be able to get a another quality GM? Who cares? We need a coach who can coach and has the requisite authority, not just occupy an office.
