Based on the moves made by the GM it would seem that he felt that both the coaching and roster were inadequate.
Which is great from my POV as I was afraid we wouldn't see meaningful roster changes this summer and that a new coach would be viewed as the silver bullet.
The roster changes have been more meaningful than I could have imagined, and what I really like is that they managed to add two younger core members of the team.
So they both got better now (I think) and in the future.
Al Coates would be proud. He was the best GM (IMO) since Cliff at balancing those two elements.
