[QUOTE="BilldGopher, post: 921956, member: 4315"] From afar this looks like a pretty good hiring outcome. As fans at least you got a bit of a test drive before the AD handed over the keys. As for instilling accountability on the on/off the field, this is a big item for programs like Minnesota and GT. It is a critical component of coaching 2-3-stars up to 4 or better star performance over a career. Coach Fleck has a billion sayings, acronyms, etc. for example like "Row The Boat." Drives lots of fans crazy but the kids buy it (which is what counts). Each of these sayings has a specific meaning in his culture. One of these is "the ball is the program." An immediate, demonstrable type of accountability to this mantra is a rule that gameday players ALWAYS hand the ball to the officials...no tosses over or ball dropped in place on the field, or whatever. This applies to everyone. You get benched for an indeterminate period if you don't. As a fan you actually watch for the defender or RB to make their way to the nearest official to do the handoff... I only bring this up that as you get to better know HC Key, the example of benching for poor ball control will be one of many little tells on accountability. This can actually end up being a fun part of the game as a fan, especially in the early seasons, to see how accountability on/off the field translates to gameday performance. Looks like you've already got one down in the books. This is good. Billd. [/QUOTE]
