If Not BB, Who?

Mathieson is close to Loguidice and Silvagni.
He would have been right behind the rebuild strategy and with them in his ear probably maintains the general thrust of the approach.

I'm thinking it's a strong reason why we've continued to hold the line.
While there is that unity of approach at the top we'll probably continue with that...but that doesn't mean they wont think of changing personnel if things get super hard.
Ask Trigg...and maybe Andrew McKay.

It's interesting speculating on the dynamics. My feeling is that Silvagni convinced (maybe browbeat) the Judge about the correct path, then both of them ganged up on Mathieson and forced / convinced him that he needs to be on board as well. Of course, it's pure guesswork on my part.
