Time.
This word is the worst enemy of most if not all sports fans. In most sports leagues, whether its Major League Baseball, the NBA or the NFL, when we see instant, one-year turn arounds, we assume that these outliers can be normalized and beg for the same thing with our favorite teams. The thing we don’t realize is, usually the coaches of outlying teams either benefit from the work of the previous coach or fall into a very fortunate turn of events that perpetuate the idea that this is and should be commonly possible.
The reality?
