Actually kind of fits a league-wide "norm" where a defensive oriented HC (Pete) gets replaced with an offensive oriented HC (Schotty) when the time comes. It doesn't always work that way, but I've seen it a lot.
I'm not so sure Pete will retire in 3 years, he still looks pretty energized and motivated. But as they say, we'll see.
There's always the chance, of course, that if Schotty does well, he'll be recruited by some team as a HC, for which we may not be able to protect him.
In general I agree but there were times last season that Pete looked absolutely exhausted and at wits end about WTH was happening around him. Never seen him so stressed myself. Hence the reason Cabevell is gone now IMO.
True, and maybe if this year goes like last he may do something. But from what I've seen from recent pressers,
the infusion of new coaches and young players has re-energized him. I think there is something to the idea that he prefers working with young guys to vets. Some of the guys that have left did seem to get jaded and lose the "compete" philosophy. Certainly, we lost a bit of the full buy in team mantra.
IAE, I look for Pete to be his energetic, gum chewing self this year. :179422:
