If they bring in a guy that the players don't even respect or value, will they even play as hard or be as motivated?
If they think a guy's a horrible coach, will they buy into his schemes and philosophies?
Some people might think "they're pros, they play hard regardless," but there's a difference between playing hard because you have to and playing hard because you're motivated and don't want to let the coach or your teammates down.
Some of you might be thinking "the next head coach can't be worse than Marvin and has to be a better motivator," but I don't want "just better," because I want a guy that's going to come in and lead the team to the next level.
Should the players' opinions be considered?
I also realize that a coach the players want might not come here, but getting someone that the players want would have them excited going into the offseason and hopefully the entire regular season.
Anybody have any thoughts about this?
No you don't get to pick your boss.
