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

I just read an article last week which if I can dig it up I will link it. New coaches coming up right now view themselves as the commander of the ship the GM has a role which is “make it happen” the coaches are giving the orders and the GM goes out and executes the coaches wishes. Which makes sense honestly you want to get the players your charged with coaching.

They view the GM’s role simply as you tell me if we can do this yes or no.
