Well I nailed the Oates hiring 2 years ago, and I hear that Trotz is among the first choices this time (suggested it weeks ago).
Also heard that the GMGM thing was pretty mutual, and it was what took so long with the announcement. Wasn't a slam dunk decision, but after discussing potential fixes and directions there were differences in opinion, so both decided it was probably time. He even made some suggestions on a successor. He won't be unemployed long, already know of a couple teams circling July 2nd on the calendar.
