as evidence it might be OK, while ignoring the looong list of forgotten names that have failed miserably as first time HCs over the years.
You clung to Kelly until he was gone, then switched up, I expect you'll do the same here despite what the on field evidence screams.
When we've hired with prior college HC experience, ty was our worst (only true disaster) and Kelly was our second worst...all the rest, even names you don't remember, did better than Kelly.
When we hired without, Rockne was our only success and all the rest were complete dumpster fire disasters. The results are literally inverse, it doesn't take a genius to see the path of least resistance here.
