No shortage of options for 2025.

I'm going to guess Kevin O'Connell.

I'm with ya but id guess its combo KOC/KAM

Other candidates: Coyle will likely be back on the list, we'll have something for the Twins (maybe its the fans again for believing the Pohlads would actually sell), Billy G for the KK contract and the continual flame outs, maybe the entirety of Gopher athletics

It would be pretty dumb to select Billy G, with the tear the Wild have been on in the last 3 weeks.

5 game winning streak
8 game point streak
Points in 10 of the last 11 games

yeah i'm unsure how far in advance he writes them, but very easy case to be made its same old, same old. they started 18-4-4 last year. we've still yet to win a playoff series with him as GM

I don't think Patrick cares enough about the Wild failures currently to usurp either the Twins & Vikings who have plenty of deserving candidates.
 

Has there ever been a year with more deserving candidates? I don't think he's going to give it to Pohlad two years in a row but the Twins stand out amongst the morass. I'm going with Falvey. He traded away half the team at the deadline and hired a guy who had lost 100 games three times in his previous gig as the new manager. The column writes itself.
