Yes. She could pick the actor who plays Ted Lasso. She could pick the random actor who plays the insurance agent from the state farm commercials with Mahomes. Would he be below average? Sure. But probably when he saw the current head coach had 2 consecutive losing seasons with the Saints, never beat a winning team except against backup QB Gardner Minshew, and before that had 3 more losing seasons with the Raiders, and is among the worst coaches ever after 5 years as coach, he would say 'hmmm, we need a new coach, fire him.' Then in his search for a new coach, he would not be a genius or visionary, but he probably would start his search where anyone else would, with candidates who recently had some kind of winning record in college, were a top assistant to a winning NFL coach, or were previously an NFL coach with a mixed record where they won some seasons and lost others. For the salary cap, they would probably try to get under it and not use insane loopholes to max it out, because being extremely leveraged on credit makes most normal people nervous. In every way, a random American with minimal casual knowledge of sports would make better decisions that would make them a better GM than Mickey Loomis.
In fact, Gayle could probably make herself GM and be better than Mickey Loomis. Not hiring a coach with a .250 record is a basic simple piece of logic 99.9% of people including Gayle likely have. It's like not buying meat that is green, not accepting a ride from someone driving a panel van with no windows and with bars between the driver and passengers, or not dining at restaurant with rat droppings on the floor. There is nothing Gayle could do worse than Mickey Loomis and many things she would likely do better if she was more involved and just making average common sense decisions and doing the consensus of what the talking heads suggest.
Gayle could also simply hire some talking suit business consultants and from New York and have them do a strategic analysis and do what they say. I am sure they would suggest firing the proven loser and bringing in a logical person with past success or a young assistant because it would work the same way as looking for a CEO. Just like they would go for the former president of Coke or the young rising VP of KFC to be the new CEO of Popeyes or whatever, and probably not Sam Bankman Fried or the guy behind Fire Festival, they would likely also be able to find a new GM and coach. |
