Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 1540003, member: 628"] No, it's not difficult. Shafer's a good guy but a poor head coach. Coyle doesn't necessarily need to land his #1 choice for a replacement to be an upgrade. The claim of "change for change's sake" makes no sense in this situation. That's what occurs when a previously successful head coach has a disappointing stretch and there is a coaching/managing change to "shake things up". Think Terry Francona being replaced by Bobby Valentine. This would be a change because the coach is simply not good. That by definition is not "for change's sake" -- it's for a quantifiable reason. Not enough wins, poor player development, poor offensive production, etc. Like IB says, some people are making this out to be like solving issues in the Middle East. It's football. Get a new coach and see how it goes. Give that guy a chance. If he doesn't, move on. There are no lives at stake here, it's football. [/QUOTE]
