Davidson said attracting and retaining talent. Guys on the fence already there just sat through Torts and now get the assistant. Doesn't always work well for that style of promotion. They might not want to stay through what may be a soft rebuild or retool.
UFAs likely want to play for a winner in a desirable market. Columbus isn't either right now. A top tier coach can help swing the decision. Doesn't hurt in keeping interest higher in the local team either.
As for good cop, I guess every coach after Torts is the good cop but I would have found one from a different precinct.
