I guess I'm more simple in my desires for my sports teams. It'd be great to have self motivating players but if an elite coach came in and could get elite performances from our stars and we were a serious threat, I'm happy. I don't care that the players are partiers or don't get emotional enough on their own.

Just get the wins somehow. And elite coaches clearly get more out of rosters than mediocre and less skilled coaches. Dismissing that or not believing it isn't correct just because you believe it should be on the players, imo.


I should clarify that ultimately I don't think this roster is good enough to be a contender with any coach, but I'm just questioning the more general assertion that they wouldn't be better with an elite coach or that the lie of responsibility is with the players. They're human, and need various styles of motivation and elite coaches do that better than others and get the sum of the parts to achieve more.
