Since When Did First Time HCs Have a Say in Finding a GM Become a Trend?

I think the Jets were a unique situation, given that they had an open GM position.

I don't recall this being a HC demand in the past, maybe the levers of power are shifting.

Loomis sure as hell deserves to be fired.
The Jets have also been upside-down on this recently, with the whole Mike Maccanagan/Joe Douglas/Adam Gase/Sam Darnold mess.
