The Program Is More Organized

One of the biggest criticisms of the old staff was the inability to maximize things. It could be practice time, the talent on the roster, or recruiting strategies.

I’ve said it before, but I can only imagine what this program would look like if it had to endure the old coaching staff trying to get things done during a pandemic.

Of course, no coaching staff has ever had to deal with anything like COVID-19 before, but Mike Norvell has made some moves that have been essential in trying to gain every edge possible under the circumstances.

His ability to have the players ready to come back to campus the first day it was possible spoke volumes. The testing and protocols in place have worked well, and as mentioned, the team has avoided having to pause workouts like many other programs across the country.

The way Mike Norvell handled the Marvin Wilson situation was a key turning point too. The program could have gone off the rails, but Norvell avoided that by taking responsibility for his actions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how everyone does things. It’s robbed this coaching staff of a true spring and summer to prepare for the season. However, I feel confident in this coaching staff. We’ll find out in a couple of weeks if that’s fool’s gold or not, huh?
