Message: [QUOTE="DigitalDaz, post: 3180110, member: 15367"] I agree in principle. Seibold's selection as head coach was a symptom of the problem. I'm convinced the main criteria (unspoken) for the coach who followed Bennett was someone the Board and management could push around and manipulate. The Board was tired of being stood up to. They picked a junior, pliable, wimp who could give the perception he was in charge. I base this on the fact that many player movements were first floated in the press and then became reality. So, the board leaked to the press, and then the coach had to follow in lock-step - something Bennett would never do. This pattern applied to the end when all sorts of stories about Seibold were leaked to the press, with the intention of making Seibold resign. Why? Because if the board sacked a five-year coach in his second year they would have looked incompetent - which they didn't want. Ugly stuff. [/QUOTE]
