I thought it was that they were going to hire Hunter as GM and Bowman as a special advisor to the GM. So basically have Hunter as the face, but Bowman pulling the strings backstage.
Hunter probably had sober second thoughts about that and walked away, leaving them to just go with Bowman. Just baseless speculation on my part, but I wouldn't be surprised if that is what happened.
