some time now. Thats the one place you would think where someone shouldn't be demoted. Im all in for putting in your own people, if the people already in place arent doing a good job. Doesnt seem to be the case with Gaines.Warkentien hasnt moved the needle as far as I can tell since joining the organization, so that doesnt really bother me.
Isn't scout the perfect place for Gaines? I actually don't know what the title VP of Player Personnel means but scout seems right for what Gaines purports to bring?
I was under the impression that VP compiles all the available information from scouts, film, etc. Helps the GM make the call on who to sign, draft.
Unless Gaines didn't show that he could handle the job, I dont see the point. How many execs have done anything in this organization over the last two decades to earn a promotion? Thats why this move is puzzling.
As I said, if the job was too big for Gaines, thats another story. Will be interesting to see how his replacement does.
