Fire Christie

The process for selecting Monte and his team was very competitive with a number of guys that people on this board liked and we chose Monte.

I think the only time we ever got passed over by a coach we really coveted was SVG which was a blessing in disguise. Can't really help us when we identify splashy names that stink or just want a paycheck.

and what happened to that process? Was it used for Perry or Christie?

Christie was hand picked. Personally I think at this stage it isn't harming us. Nobody is winning with this roster.

Perry I have no idea, he was here briefly and seemed to be pretty smart but he quickly got offered his dream job in NY and moved on. Honestly, he set the table for most of the success the team is enjoying today even if he is stuck here now. If he sets the table and someone else serves us a 5-star meal I will never say a bad thing about the man.

eta: I feel like its worth pointing out I was one of the most resistant to tank on this forum. As I knew it would be painful and nobody would agree or be happy with its progression until the dividends pay out. My solution has been cancelling league pass and only watching national games, focusing on my college team, and enjoying more hockey while this all plays out.

Would appear to me that a process was used that was largely applauded as finally doing his due diligence to go and select a GM.....and then he abandoned it, after using it one time. Choosing instead to "hand pick" easy choices that he already knew would take the jobs for head coach and GM
 
I have lost all respect for Doug. He is just a Vivek yes-man. I get he wants to kiss butt to keep his job, but in my mind integrity is paramount to the way you should live your life. Vivek will destroy Christie reputation in Sacramento just like he did when he appointed a very inexperienced GM like Vlade . Vlade’s reputation in this city took a big hit, but Vivek doesn’t care.
