To me it comes down to this.  If your team is a mess and your current coach is losing then it is acceptable to take a chance on an unknown, but if you are beating top teams and making the playoffs every year you don't replace your coach unless you have a proven upgrade.

Fred if we were improving every year I'd whole heartedly agree with you. But the facts are we are barely slipping into the playoffs and when we get there we don't even look like we belong !

And it's the same every season. We're not slugging it out getting beat in the last minute by a field goal. We get embarrassed - bad !
