Thoughts:
1) definitely a well spoken guy that will fit in with people like Mullens, Saban, etc. He can form complete sentences, doesn't sound like an idiot. Seems like he can sell
...He's well spoken. Odom was less dynamic but no idiot. Pinkel isn't that bright and never said anything remotely interesting but was a damn good coach.
2) I think we will see a lot of transfers and dismissals.
..of course, we just fired the guy that recruited them.
Odoms players were coddled, they aren't used to discipline and tough love.
...there isn't much of a factual basis for this. This year there were a frustrating amount of penalties at bad times. Overall his players seem to comport themselves well on and off the field.
I think this guy is going to bring that and many of them won't like it. Good.
...Rank speculation.
3) I'm less skeptical now. I don't think he's going to win anything great in 2020...but if he actually stays here 3-4 years we should be competitive.
...you have to define competitive. The last guy got 4 years and by many measures was competitive. Odom was fired because his results were not acceptable. The new guy has to, by definition, do better.
A lot is going to depend on development.
...A lot is going to depend on recruiting.
Overall, still 50/50 on thinking another year of Odom would've been interesting but I think this guy can set this straight for us.
...it will be a great hire or a bad one. Probably not a middle ground one.
