From a team that could target AV this summer, what is bad about him?
I think more than anything he didn’t push players or hold them accountable. He let the guys manage themselves to a large degree, is the sense I have.
Could be completely wrong, but that’s the sense i have.
Also apparenrly he coaches his team on defense to pick up an attacking player and stick with that player. And since it’s not necessarily immediately clear for whom the defender is responsible, they’re often a step late.
Since this defensive system takes time to learn and master, AV wouldn’t integrate new players throughout the season unless completely necessary. So he’d stick very hard with his original roster, come hell or high water. So in that respect he was stubborn.
On the other hand, if a player was in his good graces that player would get a lot of rope and I guess that’s good for some players. He could be considered loyal and stable.
