I fully agree with your first sentence. I'm not expecting a coaching change unless things go completely off the rails this year.
The second sentence though I don't know about. I reckon good coaches can tell that a Gulutzan or a Ward isn't in the same tier as them. Have we seen either of them out coach someone in a series? If the management went to a top tier coach and told them they are sick of bargain bin coaching and will do anything to win a cup if they are hired do you think they would turn that down? Maybe but I don't think so. Only problem is you have to shell out the $$$ for a top tier coach so we will probably never know.
