In fact, many 'fin players wish he would have been given the job. Bates is an obvious improvement over Slowik without question. I like the approach they're taking with the young D-Lineman (good bye Cletidus, nice knowing you!) but I'm still pretty nervous over the secondary that may have gotten worse <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" data-shortname=":(" /> !Note: I said MAY because you can't know how much improvement Carroll or Thomas will make in their 2nd year yet. We're talking HC in a couple years for Bates and I just want to see what he makes of this defense first...that's all. Right now, I'm a big Jim Bates fan because I know who ran the "D" last year and it was downright rotten :evil:  :evil:  :evil:  Good Riddance Slow-Ick!</blockquote>
