I think there is an upside to team chemistry, but i also think Poles places too much value on nice guys, especially on the OL.
I think Poles personal relationships with the players is clouding his judgement? This is what i was trying to say about the hugging Justin. I am VERY glad it didnt stop him from trading Justin, but i still think he needs to be more of an authority figure and less one of the guys.
I also worry that Ian Cunningham is the brains.
Im not ready to turn on poles yet, I think he's done a lot of very good things for us. But he is not infallible by any means.
