Satisfied and optimistic with the March hire assuming Donahue decided to transition into retirement but dont understand the take that our scheme was archaic. Older scheme  but it was effective and adapted to the personnel at hand.

Tend to overlook that 19" offense ranked  15th in nation ahead of  teams such as Maryland, UNC, Duke,  ND, JHU, Denver and many more .  Averaged nearly 13 goals a game against a tough sos without Dordevic (or a Scanlan). Scheme worked to strength of having several good players who moved the ball well and it was  both pleasing  and potent when hitting on all cylinders`. Offense bog down at times as most do especially when lacking that alpha who takes over but that is matter of personnel more so than scheme.
  
Princeton by comparison  came in  11th in nation averaging a goal more a game against a softer schedule and blessed with Sowers qbing. The 1-4-1 is a different set but  Curry and others dodged plenty last year. More interested in seeing the inversions and big little tactics as well as the younger energy of a players coach supported by experienced hands.
.
Say no more other than looking forward to 2020 season. I would expect our goals per game avg.  to rise some with schedule but how Cuse O ares vs  tougher teams will be the ultimate tale of tape.
