Decent run game, but obviously likes to air it out.
Defense, absolutely not. He's a good offensive mind, though. And he took over a dumpster fire. Jury is still out on him.
I will not turn away in utter disgust. That's all I can promise. I'll wait until he loses to bolt. With Doeren I was, like Glen Frey, already gone.
Does he have connections recruiting wise in the area? Would hope so from his time at Clemson, but not sure. Rumors that Texas high school coaches don’t care for him. Also, wonder how connected he is in the coaching world and if he can hire a good staff.
