The guy who's dominant unit (defense) was shouldered by another coach who is now dead. I can't stress that last one enough.
I mean I don't think Andy is the worst guy out there, but boy this place is ecstatic about it.

I think the fact that Pioli and Romeo are gone are probably as big as Reid being hired. This time last week when it was rumored it might Pioli and Ferentz I was not going to follow this team next year. Now there is at least hope. Sure, there are some negatives with Reid, but I believe he's as good as anyone available. I think the main thing has me excited is the selection of the QBOTF. I trust Reid to make that call more than anyone else out there. I hope it's Geno, but if not, I trust him.
Nothing is a given in life, but it at least gives us some hope. It also establishes the fact that our owner gives a shit.
