Message: [QUOTE="supp, post: 4099757, member: 702"] Thanks. It would appear that from your original research, you're better off with a continuity hire. But I would be curious about situations in which the legend tails off towards the end of their career. My hypothesis would be that when a legendary coach leaves on a high note, the pressure on the next guy (especially if he's not the chosen successor of the legend) is even greater. But in a situation where the legend is leaving with a mixed record in those final five years, perhaps the shadow of that guy is less of a burden for the non-continuity hire. I'm not trying to engineer an outcome here where we're better off going outside the family. I'm only wondering if the particular situation that we're currently in changes the odds for the non-continuity hire. [/QUOTE]
