I agree 144%.
JB will have some input, but JW will make the final decision.
JW is JB’s boss. Period.
Now, JB can somewhat force Wildhack’s hand via the timing of his retirement, which could prompt one of the current staff (spoiler - Red, NOT GMac) to be “interim HC”, which effectively gives him a chance to earn the job via performance that season.
JW is smart and savvy.
He’s likely already got his own shortlist of potential targets in mind, and will almost certainly do a full national search before naming the new HC.
Having been a former Orange guard who has ever been on JB’s staff is NOT a prerequisite.
100% in agreement, across the board.
I think [my opinion only] that the only way a current member of the staff comes close to landing the job is if JB pulls that type of 11th hour shenanigan. And then, it will be an interim tag while JW conducts a thorough search.
