And there to me is the biggest problem, with Glenn keeping an unproven commodity it ensures that Glenn himself will still be far too active in the decision making. I just don't understand how he managed to be successful in business while being so completely averse to hiring the best qualified person for the PBO/GM job and then getting out of the way and letting them do their job. He did that with McHale, and maybe that's why he's gun shy about doing it again.
Ap sports guy just tweeted that milt will do draft and FA but no promises that milt will be back next year. Are you kidding me taylor. I am fine if milt is the guy ( not my #1 guy) but don't let him do the draft then fire him
By the way, I'm not slamming Newton. He very well could be a good GM in this league. I'm slamming Taylor for handling this like he is. It just seems extremely lazy and passive.
Also, you don't evaluate the moves made during the draft and free agency and fire someone right after. Taylor pretty much ensured that Newton will be here for a while -- years -- to see how his moves play out.
If you're Newton, wouldn't having a legitimate head coach selection process look good upon you, though? Whatever coach he could bring in could make an impact, positive or negative. If it's positive for whatever reason, that looks good on the guy that brought him in, no?
Like they were saying on KFAN he could fire Mitchell, hire a new coach to a 4 year deal. Milt gets fired after the draft/FA the new gm brought in who didn't hire the coach. What a mess. Typical wolves

Only if the guy who brought him in was the one making the decisions, it doesn't sound to me like Taylor is taking his hand off the wheel, in fact it sounds more to me like he's taking control.
Basically how I see it is Taylor wanted to see more out of Milt and also because of the way everything has gone with his ownership deal which is basically dead getting a new POBO before the draft which is basically 3 months out probably isn't what he wants to do either. He did that once Hiting Kahn and you think about it he probably realizes he had the right guy sitting there in house in Hoiberg. Him saying he re-evaluates Milt after the offseason work is done is weird but Glen says some odd things no doubt.
Ultimately I am gonna wait out and say what I think of some of Taylor's decisions after he does whatever he does with Sam and the coaching staff. How does he handle that even if it means he keeps Sam? It seems the door is still open to letting Sam go but if I was Glen I would say the same thing (wanting to wait till the season ended) even if I was leaning heavily towards Sam staying on beyond this year plus that's what Glen said from the beginning he would do.
