“On a long enough timeline, the survival rate drops to zero.” — Tyler Durden
One of the hallmarks of the typical sports fan is what I like to call “magical thinking.” It is a trap that all of us find ourselves in at one point or another. If we consider the Houston Texans it follows us when we consider the transition from David Culley to Lovie Smith. The thinking goes that Culley was terribly incompetent, so even a move to someone with basic competence should net two or three victories on its own.
The notion is not crazy on its face.
