I agree with the comment that he could be great or awful and we'll just have to see. I have to admit, every time I hear him speak or read his quotes I like him more. There seems to be an underlying integrity in his communication - I think that is going to be received well by his players. It also appears that he has the a) competitive mentality for the position; and b) a certain resiliency in his approach to new or unexpected developments.

I have to admit it, I get the warm fuzzies when I think of the possibilities.

Consider me Zorn-struck.
