"There's real and there's fake … and Coach Golesh is real,'' Bulls linebacker D.J. Gordon said. "He's actions, not words.

I think we will not know if he is a "real" coach for at least halfway through the season. I am glad the players are buying it, but we have seen this dance before.

We've heard this about him since day 1. 

I anticipate it very quickly translates to wins

I prefer to work smarter, not harder.

Both are required to be the best you can be.

I had an opportunity to observe CAG at yesterday’s practice. He’s an active, intense, in-your-face type of leader. Heard him drop quire a few f-bombs, and was quick to get in a player’s face when they did something wrong.  He would have been a good drill sergeant…

I didn’t see the same leadership style from CJS. There was some USF Athletics booster event a couple of years ago at the Pepin ballroom.  CJS spoke/rambled on for 45 minutes about stuff - he lost me.  If that is how he talked to his players, then he probably lost them also.  Not a knock on CJS; I heard from athletics staff that he did everything right - except win. 
 

I have no idea if CAG’s leadership style will translate into wins, but I like what I saw yesterday, and something had to change.  Hoping for better days ahead!

Go Bulls

Very wise observation and supposition.  I think it’s very true and something coaches, especially the long-winded, need to guard against.

Sort of reminds me of a former coach we had that did well here. 

Really looking forward to this season.
