Meh, not all signs are correct. Sure, he got an extension BUT that extension doesn't give him zero accountability, although we've yet to see any. The good about HCMT is almost all players love him and want the chance to play for him, including really great players that I personally respect. They all, to a fault praise him. Not the same as Billicheat's former players, who mostly say how strict/accountable they were under him...or they say nothing.
The bad, as I see it, is he doesn't like playing second fiddle, which means he either won't hire, or cannot retain great position coaches. I blame it solely on his meddling but who knows. Some coaches prefer a HC who sings their praises (something we never hear from HCMT) rather than someone who will stand up for you (when you flat out suck), which some of our players and coaches clearly do. HCMT is the latter. He defends bad coaching and play and also extracurricular shenanigans. We never hear him saying how much he learned from great coaches like Munch and Lebeau...never.
Time will tell, but IF we're making lemonade, at least we "could" trade him if he doesn't meet the expectations set before him. He certainly is running out of excuses with Kahn's management of his personnel.
