Now GM's usually have a HC or type of coach in mind. Do we wait for the GM to find his guy or do we bring in experienced coaches, give him a roster and see how we go?

Also, Patricia's job is looking shaky in Detroit, I'm sure plenty of teams may look at him as a DC, what do you guys think?

If we want a clear chain of command, which I do, we should hire a GM first, let him hire and fire the HC, and let the HC hire and fire his assistants.  If you don't have a clear chain of command, then if the team struggles, the GM blames the HC and the HC blames the GM.  And no one knows who is responsible for the problems.  

That's why, even though it might be interesting to think about having Patricia as our DC, I would want a clear chain of command, so therefore I would put the choice of DC entirely up to the HC.
