Honestly, I never got a good feel from him at all. While all of this is petty, I'll be petty and say that I don't like:
1. His lack of coaching ability as a head coach
2. His mannerisms at press conferences and on the field
3. The way he dresses
4. Talking down to alums who foot the bills
5. Weights on the sidelines
6. Not answering questions
7. Not acting like the adult in the room
8. The way he talks
9. Waffe House cup EVERYWHERE including on the sidelines of games
10. Lack of accepting blame for losses, what was going wrong, etc. until after TStan sat him down after last year
11. Loyalty to poorly performing coaches
12. Length of his contract
Now, could he or someone else say a ton of petty things they don't like about me? Absolutely! Just being honest.
I did like:
1. His marketing of the program and his ability to talk about what he planned to do.
2. His recruiting in that one year, but his best recruit is now gone
3. I think he truly cares about his players, but I think most coaches typically do. Probably more so than 25 or 30 years ago.
4. His energy
Just my $0.02.
I'd add...
13. Lying about size of CPJ OL's mutiple times
14. Kinda tied to 13...extreme, over the top lover of hyperbole
15. Total lack of fire and discipline from the sideline - we get personal fouls...butt pats. we get false starts...butt pats. I'm not saying you should grab a guy and push him around, but I've seen zero evidence of fire in 4 years.
