If anything, I believe Eddie kept the football program from completely unraveling by successfully keeping at least some of the more talented kids in the program. Quite simply, in my observation and opinion, Eddie is a very good man and an outstanding mentor for young people; parents and kids respect that. I have every reason to believe Geoff will maintain that environment and mentorship.
