hires (Riley, Gundy, Diaz, Day, Swinney)
The numbers that prove otherwise are in my above posts which show many of these types of hires are either internal or have connections that helped them land those jobs (played there, previously coached there, etc.) Yes, it can and does happen but the math is strongly in favor of hiring sitting HC's if you're hiring from the outside.
