[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 901840, member: 9033"] The glory of the Internet is being able to misrepesent your position because you typed something incorrectly while in bed or not really paying attention and then being forced to defend the position you never intended to have in the first place. To clarify anything I said, [B]I[/B] think Barry was a poor hire based on past performance; I can't think of any reason that he would be the preferred candidate over a younger guy that has more upside (imo). MLF, though, was probably convinced after the interviews that Barry was the best option; there is a lot of evidence, research, and literature that shows that in-person interviews are primarily just a chance for the boss to see if he likes someone, the in-person interview doesn't really add anything most of the time. It was probably easier for Barry to convince MLF he was the best guy because MLF was predisposed to like Barry, it's harder to poke holes in a buddy's arguments than in a stranger's. Football is a sport that comes with a whole lot of excuses for coaches to point to and say, "This is why I couldn't do it, not because my scheme was poor, but because my GM was poor, or bad injury luck, etc." Barry will hopefully prove that he was the best hire. I just don't see any objective reason to think he was the best option when looking solely at past performance. [/QUOTE]
