My view would tend to agree with most of what others have posted above, along with the fact that sometimes GMs have longer term plans for a team that involve staying on for more than a few seasons. In Myrtle Beach we have one "management intern" per season who gets to see and be involved in most of the processes that the GMs perform to help them decide if they want to become GMs, and prepare them for that eventuality in the future.
While it's not a formal position and proposals to establish that have been knocked back in the past, I believe having a stable long term GM on a DSFL team can allow them to act as a mentor for a co-GM and intern, along with creating good war room members.
Personally, I have no current intent to GM at an ISFL level, does that mean my GM role is being wasted? I don't believe so, retaining the players comes first and foremost, narrowly followed by mentoring them to find success in their career through whichever means they decide to apply themselves.
I can understand people expressing desire to gain experience as GMs, however when advertising for MBs co-GM position we only received 4 applicants, none of whom are the users that applied for (and did not receive) an expansion team. I would encourage users to step outside of the bubble of the team they play(ed) for and consider the available GM jobs wherever they come up if they desire to follow that path in their ISFL career.
