Ron Wilson the best scenario for Leafs?

Question

Ron Wilson is on his way to Toronto to seal the deal to be their new Head Coach. Interim GM Fletcher says that they have offered Wilson the coaching job and he wants to be there.

The Burke situation is coming together nicely. Burke and Wilson played together for four years in college and were co-captains of the Providence Friars. Burke also got Wilson his first coaching job with Milwaukee, then helped bring him to Vancouver as an assistant coach when Burke was the assistant GM. Burke is also the Godfather of Wilson's daughter.

Personally, I would not believe my eyes if next year (2009-2010) Burke was the Leafs GM. Should the Leafs have hired a head coach before a GM? Usually you have the GM chose a coach that resembles his own ideas for a club. Your answers are appreciated.
