re: Why is Monty a good coach?

I've said before I think Monty needs to find his Tex Winter if he's going to stay long term

Yeah, he needs a strong bench coach helping it out, but he is definitely proving solid at developing players.

I'm much more concerned about Demps proving he belongs than Monty. As AD grows Monty will be easy to move on from if that's necessary. If Demps screws things up that will be much harder to recover from. This will be the first time Demps gets to make big decisions, both with cap space and with having to actually pick the 1 player out of 4 similar ones that will boom rather than bust or just be adequate.

Again, you hit the nail on the head. A coach affects your team. A GM affects your franchise.
