I think some of this is a bigger generational reshuffling within our society, as well. The baby boomers have influenced society for so long, their departure from leadership is creating voids and opportunities for those behind them that have become tired of waiting.
Like an avalanche of held breath, it is not a single-file "now it is your turn" mentality that will be tolerated. Qualified or not, the generations behind the boomers are in an all out power seizing frenzy. The voids of leadership being created are bringing about a plethora of opportunities that are resulting in a microwave mentality of impatience.
For the most part, society is tired of hearing the same voice and will continually churn out new ones until it has exhausted its larger need for change.
We are in different times. Logic is not prevailing as much as the demand for constant change. Those below now have a voice and are continually being heard. This cycle will not end until the country as a whole has exhausted its pent up energy for change and collectively decides stability is the new order of the day.
Now, back to football.
