[QUOTE="jojatk, post: 916707, member: 2627"] I don't think the Collins effect completely absolves everyone of everything that happened prior to the day he was fired. On the other hand it's pretty compelling evidence that he had a TREMENDOUS negative impact on the entire team. You just have to look at what's happening on the field to know that. It is equally nonsense to say his presence was NOT toxic to every unit on the field. So let's not pretend that isn't as obvious as the nose on your face, either. I've seen lots of colleagues who were not awesome at their jobs as individual contributors become managers and be excellent managers. Similarly I've seen plenty of colleagues who are awesome individual contributors who turn into terrible managers. The point being that you just never know what the different requirements of different roles will do when people are confronted with them. When Brent was confronted with the new role he thrived. We know that. We don't know if that would continue were he to be named the permanent head coach. Personally this puts him in a similar risk category as many coordinators we might look at and some G5 or lower level head coaches. Not just because he has 7 games experience as an interim head coach. But because those 7 games as interim head coach are at GT and he does understand the GT environment better than most. That is one factor many other coaches can't match just like there are factors other coaches have that Brent can't match. I don't have a relative gauge for the importance of that factor versus others, I'm just pointing out that it does matter and should be considered. But I am most definitely NOT saying we should consider Brent only because of that. Just that it is one of many factors that his intimate knowledge of the environment helps him. Truly I do not have a favorite among the candidates we keep hearing. I can get behind most of them. [/QUOTE]
