It's a gotcha question to ask you which coach meets your standards? But yes, I do think it's odd that you dismiss what one coach did because he did it over 10 years ago, but want to hire a coach who has never done anything. In either case, you are betting on the unknown and taking a risk. Although it's arguably less of a risk to go with a guy that has done it before and has had success in his recent past even if it's not the level of success you would like.
