• Finally, Grier discussed what he’s seen from Gase in his first few weeks on the job: “You can feel the energy. That's what a lot of guys have come through, to say hello to him and his staff, guys that have been in the building, it's just a different vibe. I think you guys will see it when the team is there. I think that's the big thing, the vibe. The players are excited. As soon as they meet him, he's got an energetic personality and he's very competitive. The players sense that right away and they say, 'This is one of our guys.' I think his ability to relate to the players is an important thing."
Tannenbaum then added: "Two other things come to mind. He's a very authentic person. And to go back to the previous question, nine coaches staying, it would be easy to come in and say, 'Hey, this team was 6-10, they're all gone.’ I thought he was very methodical. I thought he was very fair, very critical, and I think we got a great result. Obviously, we'll see how the season plays out. I think the fact that we kept nine coaches was the right decision, not the easy one, and I think it was a tribute to his process that he went through."
