There's nothing to suggest that the owners are cheaping out on coaching. It's easy to say that and blame the owners for not spending big dollars on a coach but that's completely inconsistent with the rest of their operations.
I don't buy that the owners aren't willing to spend on an elite coach. We've heard the rumours that the owners wanted to bring Darryl back to coach. The facts are that the team spends to the cap and signs free agents to big deals.
This mess in on the GM. He hired the inexperienced coaches. There's enough history from his days in Arizona to suggest that hiring inexperienced coaches is HIS preference and not mandated by the owners.
