i think the reality is none of us know how good luck is at identifying coaching talent since he hasnt done it before and this is his first rodeo as GM. It’s all an experiment

Totally agree. AL undoubtedly is a Stanford Football icon. He is also a very bright guy. He appears to be somewhat charismatic with current Stanford players. Can he manage a college football team? Can he hire good coaches? We don't know, and whatever happens with Tavita it will be an N of 1. The result will be over-interpreted. Hopefully Luck will be in line for lots of credit, merited or not :-). Another way to look at it is that at times it is better to be lucky than good.
