at this point of experience he's got all the knowledge and skills of any title winning coach ever, maybe more.
what he doesn't have is intangible. it's an attitude, aura, whatever you wanna call it that starts at the top and manifests itself in his players. it's an arrogance, a cutting edge mentality that winners have that separates them from the one who has just as much skill and put in just as much hard work, but comes in second. you have to truly believe that you're the best. you have no fear and don't even consider losing because it's not an option.
outside of sports and war, it's a character flaw; but in the heat of the moment it gives you the edge

Mike Martin kind of throws a wrench in that hypothesis. I would be fine with replacing him as long as we're getting a guy on the same level as the last 2 major coaching hires. The difference in this situation is that RC is a better coach in his field than Sumlin or Kennedy.
Agree with all of this and sums up my feelings. It is frustrating the unrealized potential we have in baseball
