So George said that himself, Ted Phillips, Bill Polian, and Tanesha Wade (SVP, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) will be collaborating to hire the next GM and coach. I think
@Anytime23 said it best, at this point you have to hope they luck into good hires. I think it's possible they get one of these right, but probably NOT both.
Listen to the interview again, George really took the time to explain how important diversity is to the organization...I think there's a 100% chance one if not both of the hires are non-white. And no, I don't think it was political BS. I think he's dead serious. We've had 3 white HCs in a row, and I don't think we've ever had diversity at GM.
So start changing those wish lists for GM and HC because one of them is not going to be white...lol.
And do you think this will throw a monkey-wrench into the hiring process?
