Back in the day, Marvin homers used to argue that they didn't want Marv fired because his replacement would likely be internal...and worse. My counter was always that the Brown family did hire an external candidate last time. Maybe I'm just more jaded now, but my feelings on that have changed some. Katie was heavily involved in that coaching search and Marv was in fact her choice.
I'm starting to get the feeling Katie won't be as involved this time around. Not sure why. Just a gut feeling.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
