David
I really like your thinking. ;-)
Josh
The key question is what duties do you expect this person to perform. Do you expect them to act as a backup for the DBAs or just to supervise the work?
My experience has been that right now there are a lot of DBAs turned manager that are available for employment. These are people that a couple of years ago took the step into management, then with the dot-com bust and recession ended up out of work. Previously were a DBA, but skills aren't fresh enough to jump in behind the keyboard.

Subject: Re: interview a manager
What are you thoughts on working from home one or more days a week under a telecommuting program. Have you been involved in any studies or evaluations of the monetary savings and increases in productivity that can result from effective telecommuting.
How do you insulate your team from external politics and agendas, while still communicating openly to the team?
How would you respond or handle a situation whereby a DBA accidentally destroys some data or a database? What types of incidetns would you accept and what what you consider unacceptable?
Is the candidate technical and if so at what level?
What are your thoughts regarding ongoing training for technicians?
