but what if every project this lead/manager takes control over, turns to gold. all he asks for is some different people to work underneath him. it may take a few more weeks to find the right guys but since there's no deadline, let him get his guys in here so he can turn this project into gold also?
This is the myth of Larry Brown. He has had varying levels of success.
what comes first, the chicken or the egg?
do you bring in a proven coach and cater to his demands or do you bring in a coach to cater the players already here?
The problem is in the phrasing. It is not about catering. You hire a project manager who can best manage the staff you have, rarely do you fire the whole staff.
who's judgement and decision making capabilities do you believe in?
There is no reason to believe in anything when you have evidence to work with. I am not an LB believer or disbeliever, I am an LB observer. My observation is he ain't doing so hot, and much of it is his fault.
what responsiblity is it of the guy in charge of marrying these two entities?
If this is Isiah in your analogy, it is a big responsibility. Huge.
the answer to those questions decides who's to blame in this situation.
There is blame to go around. LB deserves a healthy share of it.
oohah
