I think hiring Higgins as HC and/or GM would be a great move. I like his gambling nature and think that the fake punt was a good call that was poorly executed.

You know, prior to the western final Higgins had a reputation as being super-conservative. He'd get booed all the time in commonwealth for punting in 3rd and 1 circumstances. He's the quintessential field-position coach. And I'd guess that following last year's west final, he'll gamble even less in coming seasons. It's just funny that he's earned a reputation as a 'gambler' based on a single botched play.
