Typically I’d prefer the experienced HC IF he had an established track record of winning AND possessed no obvious flaws.
For example, I was against Fisher in 2012 b/c he had an established mediocre track record and it was obvious his offenses were horrible.
I’m not for Payton because he usually has bad defenses. It’s an obvious major flaw.
Since the established HC I’d be looking for is hard to find, we probably won’t be able to get the type of experience that makes me happy. For me, experience for the sake of experience is useless.
In short, I’m not leaning either direction for this particular search; I just hope they find the right guy.
