I’m just being a pessimist. All this positive feeling shit gets me uncomfortable. This team will suck until they prove it on the field. Tired of the hopeful/letdown/hopeful/letdown cycle
That's
exactly where I'm at. I will take note of the coaches he hires. Will the defensive coordinator be a 3-4 guy or a 4-3 guy? I will pay attention to the draft, though it's likely to anger me again should we continue to ignore the offensive line. Something tells me Poles has learned his lesson there to some degree, but it will still be what I'm most interested until the 2025 season starts.
As for Warren, I think he hates losing with a passion, and that drives some of his decisions. Impassioned motivation is one thing, impetuous action without a plan is quite another. I'm not yet sure where he is on the spectrum.
Warren's work on the stadium is puzzling. in some ways he's proven to be quite intelligent, while in other ways one wonders if he's a knucklehead. He's playing the best hand that he was dealt: he inherited a situation where the team invested a substantial amount of money for land before they had a deal in place without reaching key financial agreements with the municipality. The decision to purchase the land should have been
after things like revenues and school taxes were already inked. So he's doing the best he can there by extolling the virtues of a downtown stadium, etc.
On the other hand I remember seeing a video when he was having meetings discussing colours and furnishings for something like the bar in the new stadium, and I was thinking "dude, what in tarnation are you talking about? Settle the important question first." But then again maybe I'm wrong, and that too was all about giving the appearances of being prepared to move on, when really everyone knows Arlington sorta has the team by the jewels.
