But personally I think CK says it best

I'm sorry, I can't even be polite about this. Armando Salguero is engaging in a straight up hit job on Aponte, on Ireland's behalf.
Do you guys think Aponte and Philbin's presence could hurt the team's ability to bring in a strong GM candidate? That is all that matters right now.
The only puppet here is Armando and Ireland is pulling the strings.
Oh now you like CK? But when he turns on this site and staff you don't!

Didn't you like him early when his reporting fit your view?
Aponte maybe. Philbin, no.
I don't think having an existing coach hurts AT ALL. I think Philbin's current situation actually makes the job more appealing. People are on the fence about him and he has a 15-17 record over his first two years. You tell the owner "Sure, I will give him a year... but if he does a bad job, I'm going to want to bring in a new coach." Owner agrees. GM has just bought himself one free year to get started on building the team the way he wants it.

I agree and who cares. Mando is a character and writes this stuff because he has to write something. Take it with a grain of salt if that.The only puppet here is Armando and Ireland is pulling the strings.
I just do not get it. If you are rising star as a GM, why would you not want to start the process with your own guy immediately?
