He's going to be the Senior Personnel Advisor is what I heard on Sirius. Not sure if that replaces Snead or puts him above Snead. Sounds like Snead could be out at the end of the season.
All I can say is how to looks to me. But, in terms of his position, his title puts him
under Snead. And IMO it says nothing about Snead's future since this is clearly a Snead hire---a case where he is consolidating personnel and scouting to include a former colleague he is comfortable working with. That's what I see in this.
Snead has the General Manager title and as such all personnel people work for him, basically.
The title "Senior Personnel Advisor" honestly doesn't mean much though it more than likely comes with a higher pay grade than a scout. It's like when a head coach gets fired, and a former colleague and friend hires him as let's say a position coach but also with the label "assistant head coach" attached. That's essentially what McGinnis was for Fisher. It doesn't mean anything in terms of the real power structure. In the case of Xanders, it means--looks like--he could not get another GM job, accepts the fact that he's going back in the ranks, but gets the scope for more responsibility than a novice scout. He's sort of Snead's deputy marshall, `just as McGinnis was for Fisher.
