``I think that's a credit to him,'' Revs forward Wolde Harris said. ``I think the players feel a lot more comfortable with that and I think he's recognized that and adjusted accordingly. The players respect him for him being him. They respect what he says and try and follow his instructions to the best of their ability. And I think with that respect, you get the best out of your players.''(by Matt Kalman, Boston Herald) This comming from Wolde. He would have never said this about clavijo. This speaks wonders about what type of coach we have in NE. For someone to get into Wolde's head like this and turn him into a team player like he did this year is great. Glad we have in on the touch line.
Let's just say that some day, a number of years from now, when we are sitting in front of our warparound high def TV watching Liverpool (or some such) raise the Champions League trophy w. Steve Nicol we can say "he got his start here." Or, maybe not. Perhaps he'll stay. Whatever, he is on a fast trajectory to be the top coach in this country and, for the time being, he's ours and liking it. JIM DOW
I just wonder if he has actually had an opportinuty to get into Sernas head. With all the off field troubles and then the injury...chances are he was not around long enough for it to happen. I really hope that Serna is with the Revs this season, though i doubt it. Would love to see what a preseason with Nicol would do for Serna.
