It can fail. 

We won't know with Meyer till we actually try it.  Do you think Meyer is smarter than O'Brien?

I think there's an inherent conflict of interest when HC and GM overlap. Is an HC/GM hybrid going to forego win now to ensure the future is taken care of? Is the HC going to prioritize talent over fit?

If Meyer had been around a while, and was getting the job done, I might have less apprehension about the perceived role in personnel decisions. But right now, there's no guarantee that anything he is looking to do will succeed. If he puts all the chips in on his system and it flops, the franchise is in terrible shape. If he quickly realizes he's not up to the task, we've taken steps further backward than we already were.

This is a very critical point in the team's history, and I'll wait to see how it pans out, but I am uneasy.

FWIW - I'm uneasy as well. 
I'm merely pointing out ways in which this could indeed work out OK - since we've got a large handful of posters who think the ship has already sunk to the bottom of the mariana trench.
