Why would there be a need to have a coup (which I doubt really is happening) if Chia did a good job?
We're in this position because he blew it with two horrendous trades primarily that have altered the future of the franchise. And that's hard to admit, it's much easier just to say "well ... uh ... blame ... Gretzky".
I'm not blaming Gretzky, I'm just saying that if you hire a GM and POHO, you let them do that job and not usurp them on the basis of drunk former players telling you to do something else.
I can't believe I'm coming across supportive of Chia, because I absolute despise basically all of his moves since the Maroon acquisition. But I don't want a committee of drunk ex-players calling the shots.
Perhaps the article is all bunk, and if so, fine let's go back to criticizing Chia. I'm cool with that, but if there is any truth to this group forcing ex-players into the staff that is even worse than living with poor calls from our current GM.
