not really Yes, it is. Unless it is a coach that coached you, or your kid, it's incredibly weird. not at all. following a coach because of their philosophy isn't weird at all. I'd say the likes of Phil Jackson, Belichek, and the like are good reasons to be fans of the teams they coach that doesn't mean Tim isn't weird. I watched as all the Packer fans in Iron Mountain, MI became Lions fans because Mariucci became their coach. Trust me, it was flat out, 100% weird. And they actually had some reason to do it. They're all Packer fans again. It's incredibly weird, and unsettling.
