Without a president who's knowledgeable about the game and the league at the top, it would be the MLSE board who would be hiring our new GM or coach. And while a coach or GM has to come up with results now to keep their jobs, the president is evaluated over a much longer period of time. The president sets a direction for the club, hires people who he thinks will fit, and fires and replaces them if they don't work.
