LOL, I feel like I'm talking to a wall. You might not have liked his previous hires (and that's fine! We can discuss that point,) but they weren't retreads. Even Maddon went 12(!) years as a coach before being hired as a manager.

I'm sorry if you don't understand me but I can't dumb it down anymore than I already have.
I do understand what you're saying, it's just wrong. Our debate is over the word "retread." You don't know what a retread is. And even if I accepted your incorrect definition of the word, the examples you give directly contradict your point.
That being said, I'm fine moving on with this at this point - we're talking in circles.
