Yes

Why...

Because it's Jose Mourinho the last year of Goodison and the first year of BMD, rather have that than seeing Dyche or Moyes see the old lady out.

There's also an optic at work, new stadium, sponsors more attracted to a club with Mourinho at the head of it or say a Dyche, Moyes, Potter type?
Also when moving on you're hiring a manager to step into the shoes of Mourinho not a Shawn Dyche. Perception does matter

If you were as wealthy as the Friedkins, and you were trying to drum up sponsor interest in your gleaming new stadium, wouldn't you want to offer the most publicity you possibly could?

They will want a statement signing for the reasons above - and also because people of their wealth are egotistical and can afford to be.

I'll be amazed if they go for a "sensible" (i.e., boringly reliable) option when the time comes to make a splash (perhaps this summer, perhaps earlier). They are not some multi-millionnaire in a world of billionaires who knows he has to rely on analytics to get a competitive advantage when buying low and selling high to the real big boys. I think the old regime thinking that understandably permeates this place after 35 years of Kenwright will be washed away in 2025. They went big at Roma when they took over. I expect them to do likewise here.
