I would just hire an experienced GM after Murray, not a novice idiot.

I think they need to gut their scout staff more than anything at this point

Better question us Murray or botts? Super easy for me as it always has been.

I'm not a fan of Murray, but Botterill infuriates me even more, so Murray.

I wouldn’t say Murray was my favorite but definitely wouldn’t have fired him.

They have two completely opposite approaches. Murray was shooting from the hip and spending like a madman to make the team good now at all costs. How'd that work out? He did things to do things.
Biggest upside: Not afraid to take a swing.
Biggest downside: Terrible player identification and value assessment.

Botterill is largely ignoring the now in favor of supposedly building a winning culture throughout the organization. How's that working out?
Biggest upside: Uh...hiring Krueger.
Biggest downside: Completely lacks decisiveness.

Honestly, I'd rather have Murray, a guy who takes a swing versus a guy who does nothing even when the boat is clearly sinking. But neither were good hires. I hated the Botterill hire more initially so I might be biased.

Murray 11 times out of 10. It doesnt help that botterill has shown himself to be incompetent in new and fun ways every day.
