Why do we bring up past coaches whenever there is a vacancy?

Damn, lets be aggressive and take a coach from someone else! Someone new and a winner! Its time to set the bar. Set the crosshairs on HC choices A, B, and C and go after the right coach. Stop the wannabe's. If money is not problem, then do it right.

When else did we go after a past coach?

Seriously, this is a one time thing because the past coach also happens to be the only successful coach in the past 30+ years and he left on his own as opposed to being fired.
