I've been wanting to make the following comment for a while: Since you brought this up, now's a good time:
Having CT advise is a double edged sword. Sure, his experience is invaluable. This is the good part. But -- there's also another side that is called loyalty. Coaches are a loyal breed. That can be good; can also be bad. The coach with the losing record hasn't been around for 9 years. Coaches on the present staff, who wishes to apply, will probably get the nod from CT. You know, out of loyalty they have shown CT.
