He actually makes a good point, Holland took over a great team with no financial constraints in a pre-cap era along with some scouts who were killing it in Russia and Sweden.
The Detroit organization innovated, but when the rest of the league caught up they couldnt change it up and stay ahead.
So I guess we have to see where Holland is on that spectrum, but I'd wager and I dont mean to stereotype here, but 62 year olds are not notorious for their innovation skills.
