That said, I don't understand the logic, in any sport, of keeping a sub-par coach.

Priorities? Can't change everything at once?

I agree but to be pragmatic about it I can see why they would keep a sub-par coach, temporarily.

If the coach I really want isn't available but will be next year, let's say, then you would keep Herm for 1 more year.

Well, this might be the only possibility. And you better be 100 percent confident that: 1. You can get your target. 2. The current coach won't continue to screw things up too badly.

As a GM, once you decide that the coach you have cannot get it done, that's the day the coach should be fired. Immediately. The very moment you arrive, solidly, at that realization.
