Isn't the recruit also "AG's man"?
To set the record straight, that's not what I was saying at all. Maybe the incoming freshman is as good, or even a little better, than the more senior guy ahead of them, but very often you have to prove you're clearly and definitively better than the incumbent in order to overtake the older guy (hard to do in many subjective areas like "leadership"). AG is comfortable with the guy he's already been through the battles with--it's human nature. Everyone has experienced this.

Have you ever taken a new job at the manager level or above? One of the main questions I always ask is "who's seat does someone internally think I'm taking?" There's usually a person internally who thinks they deserve my seat, and is potentially a rival instead of a teammate. If you don't take time to understand that before taking a job you're a fool. It's a lot lower risk situation when you hear "there's no one internally who believes they are ready for this role."
