re: When did you accept coach O as the HBC?

I hated the hire.

Was a pretty big hater because I did Not like a lot of his staff moves BUT I loved the Brady hire.

I thought it was a big balls bold homer in swing move, and I had to give O a ton of credit for making a gutsy call.

I had Always said he can prove me wrong and that was definitely when he proved a big concern I had wrong.

When I saw how much better the team looked once he took over as interim HC in 2016 I knew he was the real deal. However I still liked the idea of Fleck or Hermann (always knew Fisher was garbage) when we were trying to decide who to hire. So glad we missed on Hermann. It was obvious to me that Coach O was going to be solid hire right from the start just from the product I saw on the field and the decisions he was making in hiring and other issues combined with the attitude of the players and culture he created around the program

The day he was hired...I always believe if you are hired prove me wrong!

Sometime during the middle of last season, wasn’t a vocal opponent of O when he started, but his ability to adapt and demonstrate self-awareness regarding his strengths and weaknesses as coach and what that translated to in terms of results and a championship. Shows he gets it, it’s awesome.
