I too believe that it's not greed ... it's more like 'the need to succeed'.  Make no mistake, there will always be a high level of 'ego' involved and rightly so. That is not a bad thing in professional football and not a bad thing in what is referred to as 'the real world'. Ron Wolf surely taught Ted Thompson in the importance of having a qualified candidate in place or at least in the hopper -- at least that is what Wolf wrote in his book (I questioned that a LOT when he hired Ray Rhodes..but hey...). Anyway, in the real world, a successful business person will always be training his replacement and in the process of doing so, could very likely be grooming his own replacement when and if he/she slips up. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" />  (That said, I wish the Board of Directors would allow me to hire and train MY replacement so I won't feel guilty about hangin' 'er up. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" data-shortname=":)" /> )</blockquote>
