"True head coach" - If the team sucked, I guess the head coach wasn't true. Team improves? True head coach!
Well yeah that's... kind of how it works. If the roster (for the most part) doesn't change, but the coaching staff changes, and it leads to a dramatic turnaround in the team's performace, that's a clear sign that the coaching change was the reason for the improved results.

"Monahan needs to be demoted" - Yes, if you can demote your #1C, you've very likely improved your team. The challenge was how.
Monahan needed to be demoted from the #1C position for one simple reason: injuries were hampering him, he wasn't playing anything close to a #1C level any longer, and it was clear that he was holding Johnny back. Fans saw this and called for Johnny & Mony to be split up for weeks prior to it actually happening.

"Kylington" - This is the riskiest call. If he didn't pan out, it would've been erroneous.
With the departure of Gio, it was clear that someone outside of the top 3 on the d-core was going to have to step up in a big way. Giving Kylly an opportunity to show what he had was the right call, whether he panned out or not.
