That got a lot of ridicule.
If you think it should then fine.
But the mere suggestion of looking into things deeper certainly raised the ire of many on this site, and on the surface should it? Especially given the argument in the last few pages of a more thorough hiring process should have been adhered to?

Honestly, this speaks to Nik's argument. We had done the analysis. Your position was ridiculed because we had a body of work that - by last Christmas - was over 120 games long in Calgary, and which matched up with the previous 200 games with Dallas. We knew what Gulutzan is, and we knew it was problematic. The argument about "looking into things deeper" was taken as dismissive hand waiving away those concerns at best, and yes, snobby and dismissive at worst.
Also, the ridicule was generated from being told that over and over again as if each passing week wasn't proving our point.
