I think this part is attractive to them. That means they can hire THEIR guy.
Is it really that attractive though? Just means they're coming into an unstable situation. (Which they'd already know, but having to fire and hire a coach isn't the greatest of tasks). Plus, like with MT, when you have to hire for a crappy job, the fanbase turns on you early because you hired a bad candidate because only bad candidates want bad jobs, and then you're behind the 8-ball talking to donors and other groups from the start. Again, exactly what MT experienced.
