Cora turned them down again so I guess they're just going "screw it". Not exactly a ton of promising candidates out there.

Gotta wonder if the upcoming Lockout might play in their hand of holding off on making a true decision

I thought about that but what would be the point of removing the interim tag? I'm not exactly sure but is there a limit to how long you can be interim? lol

I mean, the GM has to talk to his dad all year, be pretty awkward dancing around the whole "Yeah, you're still an interim dad...we aren't sure if we want to keep you", while notably searching for literally anyone else to replace him.
