Exactly. RR still calls the shots. I think that's the biggest takeaway from this hire.
RR was somewhat overwhelmed with responsibility this year, and it is amazing he did as well as he did considering his health issues. Hurney can immediately take some things off of Ron's plate, help organize the front office and mentor the young guys like Stokes & Smith, so RR can concentrate more on coaching.
It's not like Hurney is now taking everything over and making all the decisions.
