my favorite part of the interview was this:
(paraphrasing)
HS: you are in the middle of evaluating the personel....what have you discovered to this point what the needs are for this team?
ML: for me to come out and say publicly, 'this is a need here....and this is a need here right off the bat' would be saying to the current players on the roster that they are not good enough. and that is not really what you intend when you say it, but that is the way it is interpreted.
....(he continued).....
ML: driving in this morning i was listening to your program and i heard a number of people calling in, and they expounded on what our needs are....and fans have a good idea of what our needs are....they aren't always accurate, but they have a pretty darn good idea.
(needless to say that 30 minutes before the interview fans were bemoaning the need to upgrade the OL)
ML: ability without character will always lose.
HS: marv, despite that you just said you don't want to call out any one player individually, can you discuss specific needs on the OL?
ML: i won't discuss players by name, but it begins and ends with the OL and DL.
