I too find their necessity to push francophones into these roles self-defeating, but the political pressures on this franchise are real and have to be navigated regardless of my opinion.
It is interesting to note how many coaches/execs across the league have come through the Habs system though (Julien, Vigneault, Gallant, Brisebois, and going back Burns, Gainey, Robinson, Bowman, etc.). This may be because the team is forced to push new blood into the system.
