We post plenty of stories as the news emerges regarding the current coaching and G.M. searches. Every day (approximately), we cobble together a comprehensive roundup of the latest news and information about each vacancy.
Our last full update came on Monday. (So much for “approximately.”) Which means that there should be plenty of new information in the latest edition.
Which means that you should read it -- especially since it has been updated in light of recent developments.
