    DC's McDermott (Carolina) & Richard (Seattle) - Favorites for HC ?

    That's what I heard today. Pegula is impressed by both. Whaley wants Lynn and isn't happy.

    We shall see. My people are pretty solid and work at OBD. Not etched in stone, so take it at face value.

    Discuss my nonsense for giggles..

    Whaley shouldn't be happy if Pegula gave him the wheel and has decided to make the final call instead.

      Pegs asked Whaley to line up the candidates but he would make the selection.

      I still think Whaley is a glorified scout.

        Whaley does what his boss says, he doesn't think about it and it doesn't affect him, he just does his job moving forward. He doesn't even ask why the head coach was chosen. He just gets to work.

        The above satire being said, I think Lynn is a huge mistake, so if figures Whaley likes him.

          I think you're right. The other thing floating around is that Pegulas plan on giving their new coach more power. So I mean you don't have a "GM" hiring his own boss.

            Good, I like both candidates so I'd be happy either way.

              Maybe that will get Whaley to quit and we can get a real GM.

                Nah, he's got a good gig not doing or knowing anything without his bosses caring about it.

                    Per WGR (Coach Sal) the "new power" is basically just complete control over the hiring/firing the coaching staff and support staff. Whaley will retain full control over the 53 man roster.

                      That seems a little peculiar though, doesn't it ? A coach usually has that anyway, find it hard to believe Ryan didn't. Never saw any sign Whaley did.

                          Per local sports on NBC affiliate Channel 2 McDermott wasn't thrilled with the structure and it could be a sticking point for him.

                            So 'heading the search' should be taken more literally than most of us did?
