Nobody believed he really had his choice of assistants, aside from Acton, last year. Those statements Mac T made about hoping Eakins kept Buchberger and Smith were hard to ignore. While there's no proof, there was plenty of speculation that Krueger was let go because he wanted different assistants too.Most of that is false.
He chose Ference during his first camp cause he liked his attitude. He was told he could make decisions about coaching staff so he brought on Acton and kept the other two.
The systems the entire team is playing is awful. Most of our players would look much much better on other teams. Thsts a coaches responsibility
I agree that Ference was Eakins choice for captain.
I also question that Eakins was responsible for player decisions coming out of camp. Mac T's answers to the press about why Hunt was still there sure looked like a GM decision.
