I think anytime a coach with no previous head coaching experience gets a job, it often raises eyebrows. However, I feel that each head coach should be judged on his success as a head coach, not on past success (or failure, for that matter). Maybe this guy has connections, or maybe he's good in an interview. Maybe no one applied?! Who knows?!

Well if rumors were true, there were some Head Coaches that did apply. So I guess the powers that be felt he was the best fit. Good luck.
