[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1036271, member: 18006"] Yes, absolutely. Teams need a leader they can believe in, and that's something they never had with Barry. I think he was very well-liked, but over the last year it became more and more clear that they simpley didn't trust his leadership. And if players (especially defensive players, perhaps) don't believe in or even fully understand what it is they're being asked to do, their performance will be sub-optimial. And that alone is a huge reason I expect the D to stand up and deliver this year - the players are nuts about Hafley, excited about his scheme, and believe he is putting them in a better position to win than they've been in for years. That's about as "tangible" a factor as an intangible factor can get, and I think we're going to see that on the field every week.. Living in the South, and visiting some of the major battlefields (one just a few miles from a small farm we own) and driving very often through the terrain where some of the campaigns were conducted, I can easily get a sense of how much differently the war could have gone if just a couple of things had been different. There were many inflection points (especially early in the war) where it could have had a different result. Just a couple of different decisions at the Battle of Malvern Hill in the Peninsula Campaign in 62, or at Gettysburg exactly 1 year and 2 days later, and the South could have achieved a victory. And whenever I drive through the Cumberland Gap on my way to Atlanta, I can hardly believe that any attacking force could have fought its way through that terrain. Not just good coaching, but damned good personnel. Even outnumbered 2-1, those Southerners consistently had the manpower advantage, time and again. Those were men. [/QUOTE]
