Nothing you said has anything to do with what I wrote. I said they shouldn't hire proven failures. That doesn't mean they should hire a "nice guy who doesn't demand more".
So I guess they should hire a "mean guy who demands more" who has failed repeatedly? Did Mangini "demand more" in NY and Cleveland? Is that why he was so successful?
Nice strawman argument.
And some of them became rich because they inherited it or got extremely lucky.
They were your words, feel free to change them if you have reconsidered.
You criticized them as control freaks with mini reigns of terror.
A HC/GM is normally a control freak if he is successful.
Your description of them as failures is ludicrous, but you know that.
Pioli was as successful here as any peer he has.
Mangini, first of all has never been a GM so I don't understand how you think he failed at it. Mangini was very successful as an assistant coach, enough to become a coordinator and then a 35 yo HC. He succeeded enough in his first job that when the Jets made a bad decision to fire him, he was scooped up immediately. His tenure in Cleveland was no less successful that what came before or after.
Which owners are you saying were lucky (lol) or inherited their money and never ran a successful business therefore having less business acumen and ability to determine the type of personality that would succeed in running a business than you?
