Disagree, the general consensus i've heard from players/people within/outside the organization is that Ward is an extremely intelligent and hardworking coach that is also seen as a 'player's coach' by specifically our better youngsters on the team now that went through abby. Most feel he's destined to get the promotion in the near future. I've literally heard not one negative comment on the guy, and most thoughts on him aren't just good but glowing... so it's tough to argue.
If Hartley really is more of a vet's coach, (which some accused him of being through the season) then we might even be better off with the a like Ward. But I don't even have a solid read on Hartley this far in to say. Didn't hate the job he did, but didn't see much I liked either. The guy needs more time to work with this group, though.
