A lot of people bang on MBT and claim they want an overhaul. Donnie doesnt have it anymore, RC not hungry, the FO is too comfortable, etc...
If this story is true...it shows that Mark was trying some things behind closed doors. Whether it worked or not is a different conversation....Mark was tinkering...which is good, imo.
I listend to the full hour and 10 mintues of Mark on Bill Simmons podcast a few months ago...in that podcast Mark mentions that every successful business is run by math guys these days. Thats probably not entirely true...but you get it.
We can sit here and bash Mark for hiring a gambler...but maybe this guy does have a unique way of seeing the game with his spreadsheets? Im just glad Mark is tinkering behind closed doors.
Honestly, this is how I see it
For years we wanted new guys in FO, now we know we have hired an analytics guy and he actually has a real input and not just another puppy for Cuban.
Now we are mad because he 2 bad interaction with 22 years old player that we know he doesn't have the best temper? And we should fire him for Donnie who has been here for decades? And go back the old ways?
Just get this shit sorted and let everyone know his limits.
