It's a brutal ask for any new coach to walk into. But I think it will be especially difficult if the new HC has no prior HC experience.
New systems, new schemes, unfamiliar with the players, trying to get buy-in, new assistants, etc.
That's why I thought Niumatalolo was a great option.
I'll be happy with KS and be all-in with my support. But it could be an ugly season if things don't go perfectly.
P. S. I've never wanted KW and still think he was never a real option.
