You picked someone who is already currently the GM of an ISFL team and someone who was very recently the GM of another ISFL team to GM new expansion teams instead of giving it to literally anyone else who puts time into the league who hasnt had that opportunity yet? Nothing personal to the selections (I'm sure they'll be awesome and I really do look forward to seeing the branding) but I kind of expected better from a league that talks about player/community growth.
Giving an expansion GM spot to "literally anyone else" is exactly how you end up with a failed franchise. Ever heard of our fabled franchise, the Las Vegas Legion? Getting an expansion wrong absolutely cripples a team for a long time, and some never recover. That's awful for the league.
Going with a known commodity, who has experience as a GM gives them an exponentially higher chance of succeeding. To say that's the wrong call is just short-sighted and ignoring league history.
