Do the best-structured organizations always yield the best results? No.  Do the smartest people always make the best decisions?  No.  Sometimes, it's pure, blind luck, like in A Random Walk down Wall Street.  Sometimes the complexity of relationships and personalities can't be quantified.  If it could, we'd reduce winning to a simple set of steps, a nice formula that yields repeatable results.  Life isn't like that.

The above rationalization could be used to minimize the need for expertise in any situation.  To be sure, dart boards have a bulls eye that CAN be hit on the first throw.  My amateurish view of the Nico hire is that it was heavily weighted toward improving the culture, while ignoring or minimizing expertise, experience, track record, scouting, X's and O's, etc. Hopefully, next time the pendulum swings, it will be a shorter radius.
