Re: Football Townhall with Bates

Overall the thing made me think more of Bates and about the same with Daz.
Bates clearly gives a crap and wants to make game day a better experience. The staffer at my table also made a couple references to knowing about a lot of these problems for the last ten years (i.e., under Gene) and only now getting the green light to do something about it. I'm curious to see what if any changes are made in the fall and beyond.
Daz is what he is - a bit of a meathead who believes in old school style football. I still don't like the hire and don't like what I perceived to be stubbornness on his part. That said, it does seem to me that he knows recruiting is very important and if nothing else he should bring up the talent level. I think he's going to be what we thought Spaz would be - a poor man's TOB. That said, I don't doubt he'll leave the cupboard more stocked for the next guy than how he found it.
