Approval Ratings

I frequently give ESPN crap for its gimmicks, so I think I should give them props for something that I think is a nifty little idea. The ESPN approval rating system is a fun little way of seeing how fans view coaches, and I think over time it will catch on as a way for teams to see the perception of the coaches. Talk radio is frequently so driven by the strongest possible comments, when just taking the overall pulse of large groups of people is a better way of seeing how most people view a coach.
