Whoever it's going to be, obviously there's going to be a crowd around that person in terms of scouts and assistants and all these things, and that's where you need a group of guys
to get together and get this done.
Yeah, somebody has to be at the top of the totem, so to speak.
But again, you need quality people in that know what they're doing.
And at this point, it's not about winning.
It's about identifying talent and then getting this talent developed.
So it's like it might be a little bit different look than what you'd normally go higher in a GM when you're like, OK, we need to get to the playoff right now.
Maybe we need something more with a little bit more of a teaching mentality, scouting mentality, development model instead of maybe this is a win now kind of thing.
They would obviously have a little bit of a cheat sheet in terms of, of identifying players.
Once you actually see them, um, and that stuff where, uh,
a person who hasn't really played or been in the league, you might judge players a little bit differently.
Again, obviously scouts have been around the game for a long, long time in these things, but there are benefits to having played.
The flip side of that is probably you don't have a whole lot of executive experience in terms of running a business, which again, the team probably is or is.
So there's also some downfalls on that side.
That's where I was like, it's not about hiring one person or get one person in the spot and that'll fix everything.
You need a group of people to get this thing done.
And then, yeah, somebody has to have the final say.
And if it's somebody who happens to have played in the league that everybody knows...
And it makes an easier introduction and then first step into the into the dressing room and the organization, I'm sure.
Oh, that's a tough one.
