Fake-Fat Sunny Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 I think the answer to this question in almost all cases is No. These are simply more than full time jobs in and of themselves, In theory one guy MIGHT be able to handle both jobs if he has both the GM and HC title but he has a lietenant who is really the GM. The looie becomes the go-to guy on all negotiations and business decisions impacting the team, but this person spends the 16+ hours a day of HC work and then with his "spare" time oversees all the looie's decicions. Even then he almost certainly does a bad job as multiple talented guys have failed trying to do both jobs, For those who see the ongoing rumous of MM quitting and Marv getting the HC job he really wants recognize that it is already doubtful that an 80 yeard old can or will even want to take on the HC job. The idea that the end product is going to be him taking on both the GM and HC jobs is just insane.
