I was watching some old highlights last night and it got me thinking about how much we overvalue a veteran presence when a team is struggling. We always hear the same narrative: "They just need someone who has been there before to instill discipline and show them how to win."
But honestly, I've seen plenty of legendary coaches come into a rebuilding situation and just stare at a wall. Sometimes a fresh, young perspective is actually better than someone riding on the fumes of a trophy they won a decade ago. It feels like we're always looking for a magic bullet in the coaching chair rather than looking at the actual roster construction.
Do you guys think a proven winner can actually fix a fundamentally broken squad, or is it mostly just hype to settle the fans down?
