Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5494619, member: 173"] Coaches do stuff like this all the time. Sometimes - like with the 1980 Olympic hockey team - it works out spectacularly well and the coach ends up a legend. Sometimes it’s a disaster and you end up with Lou Holtz on the Jets. Most of the time it doesn’t really impact anything and it’s a largely forgotten footnote in history. There’s no way to know where this ends up, we always claim after the fact that we knew it right away but that’s rarely the case. While it being mostly irrelevant is most likely, there’s a universe where we’re talking about this in two years when Brown gets fired as a beginning of the end - and a universe where we’re talking about this in 25 years as a launch point to a legendary coaching career. Come and ask me in five years what I thought about this - the prudent thing at the moment is to have no opinion. [/QUOTE]
