I think this was a good move by AL and for our football team.
Because it has to be evaluated in the context not of some perfect world, but in the context of what are the real life alternatives at this point in time.
It seems like the main alternatives at this point in time were to promote from within (as permanent or interim), or to delay for a further coaching search.
Any further delay would most likely, and eventually, be seen by a lot of folks as equivalent to dithering, which would have brought lots of roster depletion consequences.
We will no doubt still have some players leaving, which we likely would have had even without TT being fired.
But I hope this quick hire of someone with this level of experience has the potential to reduce the outflow, and possibly even bring in some that otherwise wouldn't have come.
