I just think there is way too much praise for Zac doing absolutely nothing just because he is not Marvin. So many people gushing over a very generic press conference where he said the same thing as every other coach without any special style.
There were plenty of times when Marvin said we have to be prepared and we have to be mentally tough. Funny how no one seems to remember that.
I understand about giving Taylor too much praise before he has even done anything. I get that.
I just like what I have seen from him so far and believe it should translate into a great thing for all of us to watch eventually.
There is definitely a difference in the way Zac says things and the way Marv said things.

I'm with Fred on this one, I heard a pretty mundane and routine bit of press conference-ing and it was ok.
I suppose my mistake was reading what people said happened in the press conference before listening to it myself and that led me to assuming he was a lot less mundane that he ended up sounding IN MY OPINION. But again, this is more about me being amused at the new energy and buzz around the guy. We're already hearing some glowing praise....NATURAL LEADER.....ACCOUNTABILITY......FUN.....OPPOSITE OF STINKY MARVIN......I just can't help but notice that this guy is pretty much all the things we've been saying Marvin Lewis is NOT for the past 3 years or so.
Soak it in...the halcyon days of newness and unbridled optimism!
I watched the entire PC before reading what other people said.
My take is that it is a refreshing PC compared to the old stale guy we had here last season. My opinion.
Should be optimistic, no reason to not be, also, my opinion.
