Cot****. It's sad I wrote this 18 months ago. My concerns have remained largely the same.
Lu, you really feel the 2014 team is a 6.5 win team? Why do you say that? I feel like the only major change is in QB. Everyone comes back.
It's probably a team that should've won 9 games (w/ proper DL recruiting), but I expect to be a 7.5 win team, especially with a possible true Frosh QB. But, no, I mean my concerns as outlined in that post have not changed.
Basically, this part:
He's pretty obviously not an Xs and Os innovator or technical tactician. And, if you're not, you better be an innovator on the culture/management side. In planned scenarios, I think he's almost always ahead of the curve and on point. What has concerned me is some of the glimpses we've seen in live action.
He adheres to a strict philosophy (i.e. "we're in it together, we trust each other, let's rely on our defense") apparently without regard for a realistic assessment of our in-game circumstances. What do I interpret from those glimpses? Well, I can't make a conclusion, but I can raise concern that his approach may be a bit too rigid at times. I can interpret that he errs on the side of conservatism.
