  10. Sep 24, 2026, 5:27 PM ET · verdict

    Saleh was hired by Tennessee in January 2026. Very successful specifies neither a wins/awards threshold nor a tenure window, so hiring alone does not settle it.

  16. Sep 24, 2026, 8:01 PM ET · revision

    The source explicitly projects improved second-job quality. This is later context in the existing excellent-next-job family, preserving relative improvement and analogy rather than inventing a win threshold.

  17. Sep 24, 2026, 8:02 PM ET · revision

    Later negative quality revision in the existing next-head-coaching-success family. Preserve the relative career analogy and never-great wording without importing a wins total or awarding a second result. The quoted possibility of another job is not an independent exact hiring-date forecast.
