I'm really glad that we didn't hire a guy just to make the fans excited.....

If you agree that Mooch, who was a "name" guy, turned out to be a joker, why would you want to hire another "name" coach?
I don't give a shit about the fans being excited with a "name" coach. I would much rather hire a coach that is qualified for the job. And I will guarantee you that the fans will be excited with a no-name coach as long as the team is winning.Originally Posted by Moodini31
