Prefer type of coach? An offensive, A defensive, or a middle guy?
I'd prefer someone with an offensive system that they own...reason being if you don't own the system as a HC you're succeptible to poaching then having to re-invent your offense under a new coordinator as your reward for having success.
I also want someone who can genuinely relate to the players...doesn't necessarilly have to be an alpha, but someone who the players respect and dont mock like us fans did. Finding out that they were mocking the wood chopping references was hilariously heartbreaking. Another "must have" ...a HC that holds ALL players to the same standard and doesn't throw player A under the bus to protect player B.
There was no leadership at the top and the play suffered as a result.
