Hope I am wrong, but I think this will be a harsh wakeup call to some people, that Maresca was actually a good coach. I just dont see this working out well.
But yeah, he deserves a fair chance, even if I wish it wouldn't have happened. Not his fault the board are clowns. Doubt the contract length will be much of an issue, they no doubt got some clauses in there if/when they fire him.
