The counter to WP's track record of success, however, is not tied to any particular lack of success. Rather, the critique of WP is simply "I want an up-and-comer not some old guy" and "He's too nice we need someone who yells at players."

Further, unlike Shanny, WP has succeeded as a DC at every stop, has succeeded with average talent, and his success is not tied to any single player.

But, he's not coaching or playing on the west coast so he really can't be any good.

Well said. Wade is a good choice and is not the problem.
