I will say this, I am glad that Maloney and co. are interviewing everyone there is to interview. I am sure that some of the answers that these people have may indeed help shed some light on things that need to be addressed organizationally.

However, I also hope that Conroy ends up getting it. If I am Conroy, I am thinking: "If not now, then when?". He has been groomed for this role since 2010 when he became the "Special assistant to the interim gm", and has worked in every facet of the organization, including scouting. If I am him and I don't get this job, I may feel like I am not sure I want to stay here another 3-10 years waiting for another shot. He may be better served moving to a different organization in order to get his shot.

I think it will be him anyway. Unless someone comes in with a really good plan of action that impresses everyone, I can't see it not being Conroy at this point. I guess we will find out in a rather short amount of time.
