Yeah that’s been my feeling too. He’s shocked me to be a much more cerebral coach than I thought he would have been. I was a little hesitant on Foote given his not great coaching resume, but hearing from players how he’s helped them along with Gonchar is great.I like almost everything he's done so far.
I expected him to be a very blunt instrument type but he's more intelligent than I gave him credit for, and it's so nice to actually have people talking about standards and accountability for the first time in a decade.
Arizona had really good defensive/PK records with him there but couldn't score. But was their personnel ever going to score much with any coach?
