Keith Jones Gets Granted Time Away From New Job With Flyers
The Philadelphia Flyers have officially announced Danny Briere as their General Manager, removing the interim tag that hung on his title. In his first significant move as the club's GM, Briere appointed former Flyer Keith Jones as the head of hockey operations, choosing him over another contender, Eddie Olczyk. The decision drew mixed reactions from the Flyers faithful, some of whom favored Olczyk for the role.
Jones, introduced at a recent press conference, expressed his readiness to commit the necessary hours to turn the franchise around. However, his immediate impact on the team will be somewhat delayed. Jones is committed to finishing his duties with the TNT crew for the Eastern Conference Finals, with the blessing of his new employers.
"I plan to finish out the playoffs as long as my bosses are okay with it," Jones stated, indicating his current dual role with the #Flyers and TNT. Despite this unique arrangement, the Flyers organization and fans are hopeful that Jones's eventual full-time presence will spark a revival of the team's fortunes. The road to recovery may be slow, but with Briere and Jones at the helm, there is renewed optimism in the City of Brotherly Love.
