Who Do U Want to See as Next GM of the Nucks?

[Todd Bersnoozi]

I'm hearing that Mr Aquilini will be making the call, not Rutherford. As much as I don't teust Rutherford, this is bad news, if true.

Yah, it makes sense though. Aqua-man writes the cheques and it sounds like JR intends to ease out of his role/job. Whoever they bring on will have to have a good relationship with ownership. Aqua-man will and should rubber stamp the next GM. JR pretty much said as much @ his presser.

Why is Rutherford hanging around again?

I'm tryimng to figure that out in light of this newsw.

Jim Nill.

Yeah Megs, it's like the kids who don't have the heart to take away Grandpa's keys watching him go head on into a school bus.

[Nuckertuzzi]

That makes it 6 ex-Nucks mentioned. How 'bout one that actually won as an exec, George McPhee (if you don't count Burkie from a billion years ago or Lu as advisor).

With how well it's looked the last time we had Cup winners run the ship, maybe nah.

It's a shame, lol. But he has had a few crashes now, and he's caused some substantial damage.

I'm afraid it's time to take the keys.

[Nuckertuzzi]

Oh man, wouldn't it be awesome if both JR and FA hire a different GM at the same time? That would be just so fitting.


No matter who's hired we have a perfect litmus test coming up in a couple weeks to see if new guy will be successful. He should be in place by May 5th. If we win the lottery, there's hope for a new horizon. If lose, groundhog see its shadow.

[Nuckertuzzi]

Jim Nill.

Why not, considering Aquaman's affinity for the first name. Keep the lineage alive.

I’d stay in house instead of pulling someone with little connection to the team from back east who has a quick fix plan.

Castonguay - POHO
Rutherford - GM
Foote - Coach

Clear out the remaining veterans, sign trade-able reclamation projects, and crash the team for one more season while acquiring more picks. Let Rutherford and Foote take the hit, be the floaty circling the bowl, and earn their millions.

Flush next summer and then name RJ - GM and Manny - Coach, and let the team start trying to win again.

But I’m expecting to be disappointed by someone hired from back east with a quick fix plan.

[Cousin Strawberry]

So picker also wants Bald Jovial



With an Ovaltine slinger as his boss! That's even better

Jim Nill was a joke folks - wooosh

When your organization is the laughing stock, embarrassment of the industry and you fire your General Manager, do you promote talent hired and developed by that manager from within the organization for continuity or do you go outside and bring in someone highly respected in the industry to restore the integrity of your business?

If we’re replacing Foote next season, I hope they at least kick the tires on Bruce Cassidy.

No shit eh?

No.

or do you go outside and bring in someone highly respected in the industry to restore the integrity of your business?

Yes.

[Nuckertuzzi]

The joke was not lost on me.

He's too far above for our sorry outfit anyway, same for McPhee.

or do you go outside and bring in someone highly respected in the industry to restore the integrity of your business?

Yes.

Didn't they do that last time?

[donlever]

You're agreeing by disagreeing.
