Thoughts on Coyle

[kcsu]

In reading and listening to everything i could find on Coyle what comes across over and over again is a guy who is a very good listener and one who makes well informed decisions. He keeps saying that his primary goal is to be supportive and an advocate for his employees/coaches/athletes.

Based on this i believe that we will see a change in our scheduling with a goal of getting to a bowl vs producing rev or creating a brand. Doc did a great job of creating Rev with the NYC stuff and he also made sure that we stayed in the limelight which i do believe was critical in the ACC invite. Now that we have that accomplished it is about the programs winning. Getting to a bowl makes everything better so i believe we will see a softer schedule going forward.

In addition i think that we are going to see more money allocated for assistant coaches in football and bball if needed. Shafer is the right man to run this program long term and if he has the capital to hire good or retain good coaches i believe that the other key elements ie: IPF, Revamped Dome, Sanctions cloud close to blowing over, ACC are in place.

I really hope Shafer can win some games. He seems suited to the role in a lot of ways, but needs to win. We certainly could use some stability and HCSS is a good guy you want to have be successful. It's my birthday wish that he have a good season. Best wishes, Coach Shafer...

Doc was all flash, and I think Coyle is going to be all substance.

I really, really appreciate some of things that Doc did. I love that he got us into the ACC, and the fact that our peripheral sports improved tremendously under his watch. But at the end of the day, he was basically a line from Macbeth: "Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." All flash, no substance.

I think Coyle is going to be the opposite. He's a guy who's going to get stuff done. I'm so beyond confident in this hire it's absurd. It just screams home run on every level.

Yep. I feel better about football finding a way to be a national story again. Hopefully with Shafer - but man it feels good knowing this guy gets it.

This is my birthday wish too - Shafer is a good guy and we've got some great recruits coming in. I hope by him going all in on Lester that it pays off for him and us, I really do
