Kevin Ollie Benchmarks Year One:

Obviously, we will all be watching KO's game management, but I want to see how hard the team plays for him knowing that there is no postseason. Thus far they've been saying the right things, but how will the team handle a losing streak? I believe their wills will be tested and if KO can steer the ship through these troubled waters (I believe that he will) and the team battles for him, the opinion of KO will go well beyond wins and losses. And if he can continue to pull a few recruits out of his hat, say XRM, then that will only further entrench the fact that KO will be the coach beyond this year.

I am excited about this year and can't wait for the season to get started. I will not be overly concerned with W-L this year, of course I will take as many as we can get, but I want to see them battle. As already mentioned, the effort towards rebounding as well as defense will be key.

Not impressed with Manuel. With the tough scehdule and rebuilding team extending KO's contract will be at Manuel's whim since it willnot be s strong season record wise - and everything else is arbitrary.

Coaches contracts are always at the whim of the AD. Thats how it works.
