Not sure what the quarantine has to do with the hire, but whatever. Siddle had the edge on recruiting IMO, as well as relationships with big donors formed when Keatts was here and a style of ball that was very successful.

What strikes me at the moment is the consequence of bad decision making.

Bass (or 'the committee') made a decision 3 years ago to take something that was going along successfully and vector it in a new direction , and the results were spectacularly bad. Now -it appears - that bad decision is being made right by going Back to the Future.

The problem is that going Back to the Future means once again taking something that could arguably be said had gone from a disaster to beginning to go along fine and re-vectoring yet again.

And sadly, along the way, a lot of people get hurt.

I hope and expect things to go well under Siddle. But the collateral damage makes me sad.
