re: You can’t be a good coach and use the CEO model

I would say almost every other team the HC has a playbook for at least one side of the ball

So you're arguing that one cannot have success at one level without proven success at the prior level. While it more often than not happens that way, it's simply not a requirement. Will Wade never played basketball. He jumped straight into managing/coaching.

The biggest reason head coaches fail is not because they're bad at coaching. Great coaching is usually the reason they are hired. They usually fail because they're not good CEOs. Sometimes, being less tempted to meddle with your managers because it's outside of your skill set is a good thing. Of course, it's a trade off. O knows more about defense than offense. The reason O meddled with the offense was more likely because it was not working they way it was supposed to, and he left DA alone because he was getting the job done.

I'm not saying O will be successful at LSU. My attitude is watch and see. However, this constant need to endlessly predict doom and gloom based on flawed logic is really getting so old and tired.
