These things you don't get from an under achieving organization. Not saying they can't be done but hiring someone who is a product of inexperience, or underachieving environment is mot always the best recipe. Really hoping they make the right decision so that we can actually move forward.

I don’t think it’s that simple.
Jim Benning was the AGM of the cup winning Boston Bruins for example. Jason Botterill was AGM for Pittsburgh’s back to back cups. I’m reasonably sure you could also find a GM or two who have come from less successful organizations and gone on to have success elsewhere.
