Also, just because they play on the team does not make them a good judge of the coaching and it?s ability to produce good results.

I?m just saying, we should never base a coaching decision solely or even primarily on what the players think.
Also most players don't have a good frame of reference. They usually have only had one college HC with just his way of doing things so how are they to know a different way that would make them better? And like Moorhead, Lemonis seems to be a good guy that most players like so I'm sure they have his back regardless of whether he is actually the coach they need or not.
