Believe it or not, there are sometimes when making crazy decisions can lead you to being called an innovator, trailblazer, etc. It appears based on our abysmal record the last couple years that perhaps it wasn't the right call, but I wouldn't fault them for totally turning the norm upside down. If we are afraid to fail because of change, we never will change. I'd also say, if you're gonna fail, fail fast. That allows us to pivot quicker. Zac has indeed failed fast. Should he be shown the door, it'd be hard for anyone, even the biggest zac homer (me) to defend. I wouldn't even try. I get it. But I wouldn't say let's not ever do something radical again. It can lead to great things, and it absolutely shows me that we're trying to think different.
Agree except we didn’t “pivot quicker”. A quick pivot would have been firing the coach who set records for ineptitude in his first year on a historically bad franchise after one year. Getting the #1 overall pick should be disqualifying as a coach and result in relegation.
