People said much the same about Pete Carroll. I think that I will reserve judgement until we see how he does. The fact that he learned from Carrol, had a lot of success with him, recruited with Carrol, and was part of the system will provide a lot of continuity. Especially with all the recent recruits who have given verbal notice.
If we see a lot of the recent commits drop out, it will be the first test.
There you go, bringing something like logic and common sense into the discussion.
