(Not replying to you James, just adding to your point)
When DuPont was recruited by Skalde, Brodie told Skalde he wasn’t ready to play in August for CHL. He was 2 months behind on his training - and wouldn’t be ready until October/November. Skalde signed him anyway, and said it was fine.
Then, DuPont suffered a neck injury, which meant he couldn’t feel his legs at all…but he kept playing until we could find a replacement.
This guy is a Devil through and through in my opinion.
Sheesh. That’s showing some grapefruits.
Lord always gave the impression of being willing to run through a brick wall for the Devils, and it rubbed off on his players.
Not suggesting this should be the only factor, and we’d be hitting the jackpot twice to get lucky with two rookie coaches, but it’s a tick in his favour.
Who knows, he might not want the job. He might want to play on if he’s now healed up.
Steve only mentioned Franny and Todd in his post earlier, so who knows. Either way, if he were to be given a shot I wouldn’t be upset.
