bearpants Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Interesting... I like him, won a cup in Edm... obviously rubs some people the wrong way... I suspect Wally will stick around in some capacity... wonder if Hervey will report to Wally.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueingreenland Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Confirmed. Well, they could have done worse... SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOBomberFan Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 New GM: Ed Hervey. Wally says he will have carte blanche to retain existing staff or hire his own. Apparently there was only ever one other candidate. Nobody looks good in orange. Ick. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Strange that Wally will stay on another year as coach, sensed he was fed up when the players did not respond to his methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 So Hervey is GM. Wally is staying on as Head Coach and Vice President of the organization. Head Coach reports to GM, GM reports to Vice President. Unique dynamic. Floyd and blue_gold_84 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueingreenland Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 So now if the Lions have a bad start to the season will the following happen? Hervey: "Wally, you're fired!" Buono: "Okay. Ed, you're fired!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 That's a VERY concerning power structure....don't know how confident I'd feel in that, if I were a Lions fan (God forbid....) SPuDS and Tracker 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnzo Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Yoiks, this taco org structure is really messed up. And then you consider that these are two guys who are really not super good at playing with others.... SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue204 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 I think this is a solid move by the Lions honestly. Proven winner, knows the game etc. The power structure is weird though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s seems to be the same as what Hamilton had before Austin stepped down as HC. I think whether it works will be totally dependent on the relationship between Hervey and Buono.

Noeller Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Seems like it's just Wally wanting to coach and not worry about the day-to-day busywork of being a GM, so let Hervey be his minion, but Wally still calls all the shots...
