I don't think it's a bad hire but Todd McLellan (.594 career coaching record) and Hitchcock (.599 career coaching record) failed with this roster so Tippet and his .563 career coaching record has a lot of work to do. There's only so much you can do when the roster is so thin with quality depth so maybe they could overachieve for a season but long term it's not going to get better until they can overhaul a large portion of the roster.
