I'm guessing it means that George is the one deciding on who is fired/staying so anyone from Phillips on down could be gone. Would that be that news worthy? In so much as talking about the process can be newsworthy, yes this would be. A) George hasn't done anything yet as chairman, other than the awkward first day on the job thing for trestman. B) it implies that the changes may go much higher than coach. This is still a system where the lowest ranking official makes all decisions that fall under his jurisdiction. If he needs to be the one pulling triggers, it implies, at the very least that the organization has changed.
