I don’t disagree with you there completely. I don’t think he believes he was the reason in a vacuum. He sees himself as the guy behind the scenes that hired the coach and kept the team together. He can recognize SP part of it while taking pride that he chose SP. And he fully believes that he can and wants to do that again. Right now he believes he can do that with DA so DA is here. If he thought it couldn’t happen with DA, he would fire him and replace him. Then if the team starts winning again he would be proud of finding the next coach. He will not/ is not deliberately keeping a coach he has no faith in because he wants to avoid admitting a mistake.
