The only move which pisses me off this off-season so far is losing Bones.
The ST regressed this year but there was no question Bones was a top ST coach.
Oh well, in McVay I trust.
Actually, Fassel’s ST regression was significant in ‘18 and then got even worse in ‘19. Perhaps it was just time for fresh ideas in McVay’s mind?
As an aside about Bonamego’s checkered ST standings over the years, ST results are largely a byproduct of the HC’s commitment to ST priorities. I think that McVay scores high int this area and just didn’t feel that he got the bang for the buck that he expected. I mean, Hekker, GZ, and McQuaide is a nice corps when building a ST cadre. OTOH, maybe Bonamego didn’t receive quite the roster in his other stops that McVay will provide.
