Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 4598064, member: 628"] People get so enamored with who's the hot commodity [I][U]right now.[/U][/I] Two of the best coaches I've ever had the privilege of watching day-to-day -- Terry Francona and Bill Belichick -- were "failures" before they found success. Currently my Bruins are literally setting a record pace with a formerly disgraced head coach. Point is, good coaches can come from anywhere and any situation. I don't know if Autry will be successful, but there's certainly no guarantee whatever coach-du-jour that people pined for here would be successful either. Remember when so many people were [I][U]certain[/U][/I] that Dino was a home run who'd have huge success? We'll find out soon enough. In the meantime, a lot of people who matter are enthused, and that's no small thing. [/QUOTE]
