Sometime around 2001, JB last truly adapted his coaching techniques, as well as his style of managing the program.  He was able to keep up quite a while because he's a certifiable basketball genius. But he completely ignored things like nutrition, property dedication to S&C, analytics, and other things that were giving rival programs an edge. Even recruiting effort was slipping by the end.

With that in mind, everything in the program needed modernization and invigoration. By all these measures, Red is doing it right.  His in game coaching and game planning feels weak, but I really don't know how long the normal learning curve is, where coaching meets execution (or in this case fails to meet it) or lack of talent makes him look bad.

NFL QBs tend to look terrified and shell shocked for a few seasons before really showing their talent... Maybe Red is going to suddenly have the game "slow down for him" as a head coach soon?

Alex Kline, dedicated nutrition staff, modern S&C techniques, excellent recruiting assistants, and a former Head Coach as an assistant on the bench are all supposed to make this process easier on the Head Coach. Hopefully, Red turns the corner (or the coaching change is made) quickly.
