The difference to me though (and I have no inside info etc etc) is that TB demanded support staff.......Des brought in support staff. I think TB threw his toys out without being proactive whilst Des brought in HIS troops. Question Woodsie....would TB have been able to bring in teh same calibre or did he expect Gorman/Penn too? Frommemory he brought in Cartwright and Ferris and we saw how that turned out.well ... I am sure that Dessie, Cartwright, Donny, Ballin, Monnas, Crusher, head shrink guy and sprint coach and one more coach I know is coming .... should be able to do at least as good a job ...
Edit .... I forgot Randall and the weight trainer .... what's that ... a training staff of 11 .... should be enough you reckon ...
My point is DES not only knew what/who he wanted.........he got them.
