It's a great way to get buy-in - 'This is what we're trying to do'. The best coaches are able to communicate how they hope to make players better. I see this in European soccer all the time; they are as video-heavy as the NFL. Tailored instruction, breaking down film. Little tips and advanced statistics to help them make better choices in real time. I really like hearing this. It has to help with player buy-in, and to have them recruit the guys they wanted to play with, and who knew already how we intended to use these guys. I loved how Donnie and JJ were at all the "closing" dinners for the top target guys. It seems like they have built this group very purposefully. It bodes well. [/QUOTE]
