I agree with your point that the player/assistant coach role is better. But what if it's not on the table?
What if Bob said: “If I am GM, this is who I want as my manager. Otherwise, see you later.”
Thats all I am saying.
Bradley really has MLSE in a corner here, especially if Tanenbaum will agree to anything because he knows he needs a Manning replacement in place but has no other idea who that could be.
