This wisdom of the crowd's stuff shouldn't be taken so far.
Democracy works in two ways:
1. It eliminates the extreme options.
2. It's designed to ensure representation, not perfomance.
When you look at things that have been designed by committee, you're looking - at best - at mediocrity. This is a good thing when you don't want government performing too well in the wrong direction, but it's a hindrance if you are trying to establish peak performance.
Sports teams are looking for peak performance. The best way to achieve this is to install a knowledgeable dictator. The risk is that the dictator will make the wrong calls. It's a lot like business. Which is why public companies never innovate.
So, even if this flies, the team will be mired in being average. Never winning, never losing. Success would be solely dependent on the oddity of a year that the mediocre prevail.
To me, that defeats the whole purpose for having a team in the first place.
