What makes you think the higher ups will be happy with someone like AA who has only baseball experience? Just because Ed Rogers wanted DD, doesn't mean they will be ok with AA doing that same job.
You have to understand that those that said yes, meant that he "could" rather than "will"
Those that said no, read the thread and saw that you meant "will" so they picked no.
Probably has to do with the fact that he was also quoted in the press conference yesterday. Pretty sure i haven't seen his name before, let alone in a press release.
Ill tell you what, when his name came up, i Googled him and it was showing in a bunch of places that he was chairman. I guess it's possible it wasn't an old thing, but who knows.
