I'm not doubting his knowledge of the game, and he's right about how many owners choose a coach, especially the good 'ol boy network. That's something I've never understood.

But the article comes across as just a set up to go on and wax glowingly about his buddy. It's just ... I dunno. It just doesn't sit well with me.

It's also another example of the insanely poor writing found on the Scouts network (or at least most of the stuff I've seen). You may not think so, but outside of message boards and blogs posts, it's hard for some people to take a writer seriously when it's obvious that writer failed to even proofread his work. It shows a laziness toward detail and makes one wonder how much effort was put into the piece.

Or maybe I just have too high of standards and am a pedantic asshat. Those are totally possible.
