I thought the Grant appointment was madness

Total punt. Though admittedly I never liked him as a player so was probably prejudiced. And I also thought the Gunn appointment was a total punt, but could at least see the logic of it since we had no money (hello, that rings a bell) to do anything other than get an unproven newbie. Whereas with Grunt we were (or seemed to be) in a much better position.
