I'm not sure it's irrelevant that our owner refuses to give our "GM" the title of GM because Mike wants to keep the title of GM and make more money. Nothing against Tobin, but I'd wager that little stipulation probably keeps the better GMs from wanting to come here.
I'm trying to put myself in that sort of position. Imagine applying for a job and the boss tells you that you'll have the duties and responsibility of job X, but you'll get the title and salary of a lower position and he will keep the salary and the title for himself. Ouch, he who has the gold makes the rules, I guess.
Anyways, stuff like that is bound to limit the pool of candidates right?
