[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 814251, member: 10086"] My personal first impression; He brings a newness to this team that is refreshing. I like he’s emotional. We need emotional. We don’t need a sweet talker, we need a guy that’s going to get to work and a guy that wants to be the best. He has s record of being competitive and I’ll take a competitive personality over a sweet talker any day twice on Sunday (that just happen to fit!) He’s the type of guy that will take losing personal. I like that. He’s not a complacent type personality. He’s eager to learn, eager to work and eager to prove himself worthy. I think his age is a plus. Some see if as a negative. I don’t. I think he’ll relate better to players one on one because he understands them better. Millennials are a different breed. They value their time off more than $. It’s a different world than when Terry Bradshaw was tossing the ball. Coaches can’t ignore that. You have to understand your audience to speak to them on a level they not only understand, but on a level they trust you. If you gain their trust, you gain their heart and soul. Sports are still about how bad you want it and I can give you dozens of examples of above average athletes that played exceptional because they loved and respected or where inspired by their coach. The obvious one was right here in GB. We have to get that back. That’s more important than any 1st round draft pick. I’m not saying you have to fraternize with them either. There’s a fine line. MM didn’t capture that type of respect IMO. I believe had MM been able to do that, we’d be talking about him, not Bill Belichik. MM was a decent coach but he fell into an ideal situation. He didn’t elevate his surroundings so to speak. This kid fell into a gold mine. But the one thing that makes him likeable is he 100% knows it. His biggest challenge will be surrounding himself with quality field generals. [/QUOTE]
