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.
