They didn't have a plan.

I think it was a bit of a panic move in response to the Larkin situation.

You only move on from your GM in July - a terrible time to be looking for a GM - if you have a surefire candidate.

Agree with Rich that they should have waited until April.

Back to the board

- Awful. They found the worst possible way to do this in terms of timing, process, and result. Agree with Rich that they should have kept Yzerman on til April '27. ** - By Mark September 15, 2026 at 10:23:56 AM

      - Seems clear Greenberg was Chris's guy. I think it would have been a bad hire, but whatever - but waiting 2 months and not having a backup plan is just insane* - By Big M September 15, 2026 at 10:17:57 AM
        
        Certainly seemed that way, but why withdraw his name from the running? Maybe he just preferred to stick with the Tigers, but still seems odd* - By AltShiftM September 15, 2026 at 10:30:38 AM
