We have power ranked the head coaching hires so far.

0:17.8

Before we jump into that, though, I want to lay out three ways that I think that you can make

0:22.8

a good head coaching hire, because this is sort of how I evaluated the moves that were made.

1:18.7

If you lean into your biggest strength, I can't crush you for that. I think the ideal of a coach

1:24.9
