[QUOTE="CEB, post: 921717, member: 4905"] Glad you allowed multiples... I voted not my first but solid AND first choice LFG! He wasn’t my first choice but I changed him to my first choice as the season went on. I love how the locker room reacts to him and I don’t think the value of that can be overstated. It’s HUGE! I am prepared for some growing pains... I know he has very little real HC experience, so there will be missteps, but he has the pedigree and resume that says he is ready for a shot. A power 5 shot is a big jump, but I’m optimistic. I have a feeling he is going to build it right; it’s going to be hard nosed, no-nonsense football. Kids love him and we know he recruits, so I see no reason he can’t motivate and lead a team effectively. We’re going to struggle with the top of our schedule for a couple /three years regardless of who we hire, but we’re going to be back to competitive in all of them (winning the majority of them) in short order. To the few who are frustrated that we “missed” on bigger opportunities, I’ll say that I’m not so sure that’s accurate. We have our financial issues, no doubt, but I see what Key did this season as a HUGE boost to our approach to coaching search. He emerged as a very viable option; not just a stopgap. When you start laying out pros and cons, Key brings a lot to the table in our situation. Yeah we could’ve paid out for a bigger name if we were financially in order but we might have just gotten a bigger name for more money. Not only salary, We don’t have to buy anyone out of a current contract. We also lose less of the roster (and we have made improvements to the roster!), have some continuity in recruiting and developing players, and to be honest, our concerns about how fast Key matures into this role basically parallel the concerns we had with other candidates abilities translating to this level and to GT specifically. I’m excited to see the team excited and I am ready to watch them all work their a**es off for Key and GT [/QUOTE]
