We honestly don't have a firm handle on how he will do. Plenty of experienced coaches with proven track records flop on some teams, and excel in others. I am just hoping that Huska proves himself to be a good fit for this group (whatever it ends up being this year and beyond).
It is funny how this has worked over the years - I can only think of one "player's coach" that was any good, and that was Badger Bob. Everyone else has been mediocre. Some hard asses have failed, but excluding Badger, all the really good years happened under hard asses (and there weren't that many of them to be honest). Plenty of hard asses failed miserably as well though.
I am just going to keep an open mind. Conroy did his due diligence I think with how many candidates were contacted and interviewed. Huska has also been groomed for a long time in this organization. Only one way to truly know if he is ready is to give him a shot. I am keeping an open mind about him.
