I don't have a problem with them going for new blood. It worked for bammer, though it was on the 3rd try. The first try (Franchone) left under his own volition, and the second (Price) was only on the job for a few days. Then they went with Shula, who was very mediocre. Then 4th try the charm...satan.
The last "bars boy" was Mike Dumbose, though Mike Shula was a bammer player under Perkins, so though not a "bars boy" he did have a bammer tie.
