IMO T.A. has shown great ability to get the most out of his players/use them in ways that highlight their talents/motive them to play above what their "talent " would seem to be. But most of all, he can compete with anybody.
His coaching style seems to take the focus off himself, and puts in on the team. And I think that will come to light in our Big Games. We will play sound D, make fewer mistakes, and keep us in the games against the "Big Boys."
There will be some expected growing pains in Sept, and Oct, but by November it will be clear we are a more confident team on D. This will in turn help DA and the O learn how to rally in tough games, and, hopefully, discover the so far elusive "explosiveness" that has held us back when it counts the most.
With a little luck, we make it to the playoffs in 2024.
My greatest concern is Coach burning himself out. He's one intense man! But not having the burdens a HC must shoulder should let him focus on being one of the best DCs in the Land.
