Yeah, but anyone reading it can sense the difference between a possible party line like "I'm looking forward to the opportunity" and specific praise/comments/discussion like "Attitude!" and "I ran something similar to this before and hope the transition won't be too tough."
I get the feeling the guys really are pretty enthusiastic about the hire. Given the almost total silence about Spags aside from some late-year anonymous reports of dissatisfaction with him, I think it's a good sign that players are expressing optimism.
On an entirely different note, I think I'd faint with joy if I heard Scott Fujita was coming back in any capacity. I just love him, and I still believe he can eat an Oreo faster than any Manning, ever.
