Without knowing much of anything, we'll never be in a position to 'feel' what the situation is on the bench, at practice and in the league as a coach does. We have oodles of fun second guessing situations but a lot of it necessarily amounts to stabs in the dark. I wasn't thrilled when JM was announced, probably because I don't know a damned thing about coaching any team, including coaching the kids I coached. I really liked the incredible team effort last year and the wonderful cohesive start to this year. That to me says personnel and coaching respect. Getting picked by Bob Gainey is a pretty good starting point with me.
I am very pleased that JM has the cohones to take our Precocious Kid and help to shape and mould his excellent heart and talent as a coach should. Coaches have limited tools avaiable. More critical awareness can only help PK grow. No one , including JM fails to see the spirit and talent.
Go JM go.
