It would be a mistake to make a trade just to demonstrate that you are doing something. That’s when you make a bad deal. I’m not looking for flashy actions as I am more demonstrations of thoughtfulness and competency. The offseason is the time to make deals that restructure the roster.

However, a change in GMs will be a clear sign to the players that changes will be made and the status quo will no longer be tolerated.  And I’m sure most of the players will appreciate that.

It's possible for a GM to make a trade that is not ridiculously impulsive, that improves the team in the short and longer term, and that was made for reasons other than simply showing he has a bigger wank than the man he replaced.  That's the sort of trade I'm talking about.

You know that isn't true. Changing gm has already occurred in the past and the status quo just kept on.

We’ll see. What happens if there is no staffing change? That’s what I’m looking for and will find most consequential.

I recognize that .What I don’t want is a symbolic deal that doesn’t actually improve the roster.

If replacing KA with Jarmo why bother with an announcement?

so Terry (and Kevin?) won't keep having to hear the Fire Adams chants

The fear is a win over Seattle gives Terry cold feet

I retired. At the end of an exhausting career there was a boss who was the #2 man in a relatively large agency acting like a cartoon dictator and  being obnoxious and condescending in his presentation. There were a lot of big shots at the gathering. During his bloviating I stood up and interrupted his public display of stupidity and politely asked him if he recognized how stupid he sounded? The audience  went dead silent.

He was a big fellow who went to an NFL training camp. He wanted to kill me for humiliating him. I was at the end of my career. Needless to say, I had to watch my back.

Did they take back your watch?

is he gone?

Doesn't matter if they just hire guys in house like Appert who can't even run a power play as HC or if they move Adams into an even higher role he's not qualified for.

This is what I am worried about. I don’t like the delay because it probably means Terry is getting cold feet. It’s amazing that a person who has built a multibillion dollar company is so reticent to actual make a decision. And this is not even a hard one.

With it going unmentioned in Friedman’s 32 thoughts I’m starting to think it’s not going to happen

Ngl, spent about a minute trying to figure out if he’s wearing underwear. I still don’t know.

What’s the hold up with this? Did someone from the organization catfish our supposed local media insiders?
