Isn't it the job of a General Manager to consider all possible options to improve the team? Maybe Hendry doesn't think firing Lou would help, and he may very well be right, but if he has never even considered it then I don't think he is doing his job. That is the equivalent of the Bulls firing Vinny Del Negro, when everyone had known for months that he would be gone, then holding a press conference and stating they hadn't even thought about his potential replacement yet. If not planning for the future of the team, what exactly are general managers doing?
