BrooksMustGo -- That was a good well thoughout post and one that I agree with.

To borrow your open heart surgery metaphor. I\'d rather have a doctor paying attention to all the details on his first turn as the chief surgeon than a guy who had done thousands and was thinking about what he was going to buy for his lakehouse off of my surgery.

I can see the logic in that, but only if they have a good experienced physican standing at the opeerating table to assist. Or, to apply to coaching, having good experienced assistant coaches.

I\'d also prefer one of the African-American assistants, partly because of the the spotlight and partly because they have even more to prove. Guys who get perrenially passed over for head coaching jobs face a very simple reality, they cannot afford to fail

.

I also see the logic in that. Although, I wouldn\'t let race be an issue.
