The Senior class in the first year of a transition to a new coach is always a critical one. A proper coach connects with them and uses as the bridge to something better. Back in 2013 we saw that senior class mostly marginalized and pushed out in favor of younger players. The result was a fall from 6-7 to a disastrous 1-11.
This year’s class is different though. Coach Brohm knew that he couldn’t push the seniors aside if he wanted to win now. He knew he needed to get them on board and fully participating in order to have any success.
