Look at good, stable orgainizations, they can move seemlessly form one GM to their successor? Why? Are they yes men? No. They have autonomy. But the organiztional philosophy doesn't change, therefore they can continue on seemlessly.
I know that strategic planning isn't for everyone. But it is vital.
And providing an organizational direction and vision IS NOT the same as taking away their autonomy. Those are different things.

Sorry but i think you need to come to grips that the organization does know what it wants. It wants a competitive team that will try and make the playoffs and they want Iggy to retire as a flame. They have made that abundantly clear the last bunch of seasons.
You and I might not agree with that , but that is what ownership wants.
