Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 5340793, member: 26"] Why would Dallas even consider Brondello? She won championships with the amount of talent that most BY'ers could have won with. And Dallas had such a small amount of talent that to judge the HC based on how poorly they did is unfair IMHO. I mean really - starters of Paige, then Hines-Allen, Siegrist, Berger, and Jones? Aside from Paige, the rest of them would barely get time off the bench for most other teams (Siegrist excepted). And maybe Hines might be solid off the bench. But as starters, that's a dreadful group. Sandy won in Phoenix her first season in 2014 with the likes of Diana, Brit Griner, Dewanna Bonner, Candice Dupree, and Penny Taylor. All of them were at the peak of their talent. Spent 7 years there and didn't win another. Then she won again with NY in 2024. Again, she had a boatload of talent. This season they basically swapped Vandersloot for Cloud, upgraded their bench, and added Meeseman mid season. Yet after the all star break, they had something like the 5th worst record in the league and sunk to 5th place overall. I get they had injuries but with that much talent, including the talent off the bench, it was a pretty poor showing IMHO. I don't think Seattle should take a chance on her either. Go after a young smart assistant in the league, or poach a coach from the ranks of WCBB (Jose Fernandez anyone?). [/QUOTE]
