Take it from the guy who wrote this back in 2016: When it comes to the wave of coaching hires coming down the pike, it might be best to analyze outside the box.
Maybe it’s because we’re living in the era of Old Takes Exposed. Maybe it’s because the current sports media algorithm rewards the most outrageous praise for a hire, and of course, shines equal light on the outrageous contrarian viewpoint. But it certainly seems like there has never been a time when the disconnect between coaching hires that we believe will be successful, and coaching hires that actually are successful, has been greater.
