Do you want Grier to keep his job?
Yes.
Just like any other position, if we can get someone better, fine.
In order to replace our current GM, there are questions and steps that need to be answered:
1) Is there a quantifiably better GM available?
2) Who is he/she?
3) Is he/she available?
4) How much more will he/she cost?
5) How do you weigh the differences between our current GM and the potential new GM in any meaningful way?
6) How much better, quantitatively, are they than our current GM?
7) List the specific of improvements our new GM will be required to make to the team!
8) Does his/her history indicate he/she will make those specific improvements?
9) How long will it take him/her to make those improvements?
10) How much time will we allow him/her to make those improvements in?
11) Here is the big one - Is the risk worth the reward?
This last question can only be answered by Mr. Ross. How do you think he will determine the answer to the "risk vs. reward" question?
Suddenly replacing our GM in order to improve this team does not look so "cut and dried" and easy to do as many here seem to believe!
