Time consuming, probably, but transparent and interesting.

Of course Spartan has recommendations, his friends are sitting in the HO, you included. Conflict of interest in my eyes and surely there has to be some value on the fact that McZ has applied for these jobs more than once before with a strong application? If not, why not just tell him he is never going to get hired? You guys bullies - simple as that.

Guy has been fired. Twice. How many GM's have been fired in shl history? Two? Maybe if he wanted to prove that he had changed and could put the needs of them team before himself he wouldn't have played himself first pairing with the lowest tpe d man on the team?

Just because you don't like something doesnt mean that it's bullying. Yelling about an HO conspiracy just makes you look like a nut when anyone with common sense could see the way the wind was blowing on this one.

This, but worrying to me if the feeling in the league now is that we need to go to juniors to win championships, then use them as main achievements when going for SHL GM job. What was the point of juniors again?

How would this be time consuming? They already have the comments. Unless they need more time to make up an acceptable excuse?

This would be a very good idea though.

That same answer applies to anyone who thinks they’ll just apply to the J as a stepping stone and get hired

lmao this thread is a hot bed for piss poor takes. Y’all think SHL HO is bullying McZ, and you want a public thread detailing exactly why they didn’t hire him? You guys would just accuse them of publicly bullying McZ if they did this.

Releasing apps is a horrendous idea, might as well just ask dudes to post their apps in the hiring thread instead of PMing them to HO. All this is gonna do is give the armchair HO members a platform to see apps and give their biased and subjective opinions towards candidates they have a boner for. Let HO do their jobs.

And why do people want to hear the reasoning McZ wasn’t hired so badly? Everyone in this thread knows why he wasnt chosen except for the people who’ve got their blinders up so they can hate on Gibbles before he’s made his first call as GM. He’s a longstanding MIN member, longer than McZ and doesn’t run the risk of putting his player before the team’s success, this hire is legit the best possible outcome for MIN

Ya, if people dont think we actually look at the apps, how they are written and what they plan to do they are not going to get the spot. We will not release apps for "transparency" since that isnt what transparency is. The best apps I have seen have both a statement of credentials, a plan as to how they want to build the team for the next few seasons, and what they want their team to be going forward. Apps we get range from having all of these very well thought out, to having none of it written at all. We do take prior experience into account to some extent but there is nothing that says we wont take someone new and we have had active talks about doing so in the past.

In your honest opinion - what is this if not bullying? A veteran member with all the tools to run a team, member who wants a second chance in managing a team gets denied time after time, only because some cant accept the fact that the veteran member has done more than enough to earn that second chance? A qualified member, a member who would make the league a better place by running a team gets denied time after time - smells a lot like bullying to me.

What, aside from McZ being a member here longer than SpartanGibbles, makes him more qualified?

Gibbles has...

- Been in Minnesota longer
- Been in Minnesota MANAGEMENT longer
- Has more recent GM experience
- Is an updater (invalidating your strange argument that he can’t regress people)
- Is a much safer pick since he hasn’t been fired, much less twice (and this is coming from an SMJHL GM whose been fired and lost out on jobs because of it)
- Isn’t a risk to put his player before the team (look at the way McZ does his lines to award himself top minutes, or the recent scouting survey where he name drops the chance to ‘Play with Balls’)

SHL HO picked the best candidate for the job, and your only argument is that McZ is older and tries hard? Everyone who applies is also trying, and being older genuinely doesn’t mean shit if you can’t back up your candidacy, which McZ can’t do nearly as well as Gibbles right now (see points above).
