I respect and like Tom, but he's not entertaining or articulate enough to be considered a good choice of coach for the show. Like it or not, a vital factor on what makes these shows work is the banter and input made by the coaches, whether thats between coaches, with the audience or with the contestants. Tom doesn't do enough of this for me, his draw is his reputation alone which for me is not enough.

That said, i do like the guy! lol, just not particularly as a coach.
