Frankly, I want to see the next 4 games before I would be averse to this.
Just to opine. When someone has the experience in a position, and gets canned, as has happened both to Philbin and Pettine, one learns alot. Retrospectively, you examine an number of items:
- what made me good at my job?
- what did I do poorly?
- What did I like?
- What didn't I like?
- Could I supplement my strengths/weaknesses and likes/dislikes and still do that particular job?
I know Pettine is AWESOME at his DC job. I don't know whether Philbin is a great OC. I would simple assert that one should keep an open mind and look at the relative production the last 4 games vis a vis the first 12 in order to make that assesment.
