To be fair, they didn’t play 30 games in many of the years before he arrived.

Not sure if I'm over reading into this but why say "Let's hope he keeps focused on the right things"? Seems like an odd comment about a guy who just got his 1st high school head coaching job, am I missing something about his recent "focus"?

My guess is that his reputation as a pot smoker a couple of decades ago may still be viewed as a moral failing by some today, as crazy as that might seem to rational folks in light of all the legalization.
