Both benefitted from experienced teams, but Fran gets credit for bringing in McCord and Meeks.  We don't have McCord without Fran.

Right now, without Angeli, we're obviously a really young team on the offensive side of the ball.  Now we can see why Fran was hammering in the point of Steve having control of the huddle. The offense needed leadership and he left a huge, gaping hole.  It doesn't matter now, but we easily have 2 more wins if Angeli didn't go down.  That was a gut punch. If the fans felt it, you can only imagine how the team reacted.

Back to Fran vs Babers. I think the culture Fran is trying to build is real.  DART > Ohana. He just needs leaders from the team, something he also mentioned.  You don't lose Kyle, Meeks, LeQuint, Marlowe, Diggs, and just replace the leadership that comes from the team.  I couldn't tell you right now who the leaders are on the team?  Offense or defense, but at least Fran knows the 2 areas that need to be fixed and I don't think coaching can do that other than trying to instill confidence, which he's obviously gone above and beyond with Ricky.  Again, it's a young team, but it could be a copycat approach you can take from Cignetti and bring in portal guys who are captains at lower levels, or team leaders.  I don't think the kids will quit on Fran like they seemingly did with Dino on multiple occasions.
