Re: Non-conference report card

I am really happy for AK, he has done an incredible job. I hope this
bodes well for him for landing a head coaching job. I know that the
players are "Bob's" and we don't know how successful he will be
recruiting players to play for Andy rather than Bob, but he has done a
fantastic job in a very difficult situation.

I remember folks lamenting him going away from the 3-hour Huggs-style
practices as a negative. I always though it was a potential positive.
One of the biggest mistakes Andy could have made was to try to be
Huggs Jr. Instead, it appears he has taken his experience and put his
thumb print on this team. People have different styles and strengths,
and trying to be just like someone else is typically a recipe for
disaster.
