Ans is YES, but more importantly, I want to see
the players and assitant coaches to continue to rally around Monty and give 100% effort when they feel valued, protected, and inspired by a shared, meaningful purpose. If Monty can create this environment of trust, consistency, and respect, then I can guarantee you that we will be top 10 again!
