Rivalries only help or hurt coaches. It gives coaches something to hang their hat on when they beat their rival during shitty seasons, and conversely, it spells the boom for them when they lose to them during shitty seasons.

I haven't really missed having a true rival the last two years. Especially the idea of this contrived rivalry with Arky. I'm selling rivalries.
