At the bottom of this link, I told you to relax about the information void. Now, I hope to help make sense of all the static in the atmosphere. Important disclaimer – although I believe my deductions are logical, they are in no way based on specific intelligence. This is ME talking from my gut (or out of my ass, depending on one’s perspective).
Everybody has heard something about the coaching search. And what I hear from various, good sources is wildly inconsistent, shifting, and even downright contradictory. At first, I was extremely confused. I graduated from the college of engineering, damn it. I like order and logic.
But then, I had a mini-revelation.
Naturally, DY wants to keep things close to the vest. Assuming that goal, how does one get there? The usual strategy is to go on lockdown. Very few people know anything, and those few get watched like hawks. That’s all well and good, but in today’s world…much, much easier said than done. Even if you completely trust your inner circle.
Which led me to the alternative – if there’s a shit-ton of static in the air, how do you tell which feed is the real signal that you need to focus on tuning in to? And I think that’s where we are. I think there are multiple smoke screens, and smoke screens within smoke screens. How do you cut through the fog? You really can’t. None of us will stop trying, but nobody’s ever going to know for sure. Brilliant strategy.
So, sit back and enjoy the ride. And take heart that in order for such a strategy to work, you have to feel pretty confident that you will land an excellent coach. Otherwise, the various smoke screens just set up the fanbase for disappointment.
