Henry, perhaps unrealistically, I was hoping for a proven coach to be hired. So, initially disappointed because of my expectations. Otherwise, I now have high hopes for Foster—higher than if Kelly had stayed, for sure. Any coach coming into the "smoldering ruins" at this late date would face a challenging situation, and DeShaun Foster is happy to face that challenge.

I also disagree with those who say that Foster is not ready to be a Head Coach. They don't know that, and neither do I. Every new Head Coach is somewhat of a mystery, even Saban on his first try. We have seen some pretty experienced and successful Head Coaches fail at their next job. So, it's not just the coach; it's also the fit. Inspiring to watch the team greet their new Head Coach, DeShaun Foster!

Your resonse is rational, sensible to me. Let us not prejudge and, most of all, already presume doomsday and seal the fate of our new coach merely the second day of his hiring. It will take time and efforts to dig us out of the horrendous mess Chip Kelly created. I am so sorry Ohio State hires him. This guy has serious character issues too.
