As straightforward as he is...
As INCREDIBLE as he is at getting his guys to play hard, be focused, stay humble, etc...
As even-keeled as he is...
He's got a little Sparky Anderson in him, in terms of how he doesn't hesitate to compare young guys to some of the all-time greats he's had at OSU, MSU, etc.
(Every spring, Sparky would gush about some young guy being the next...whoever.)
NOT a knock, by the way. I enjoy it a ton. It's an interesting side to MD.
I remember it going back to when he signed Lippett, among others...)
Just a bit unexpected. But that's part of the nuance that makes MD so, so good.
Disciplinarian, and players love him.
Even-keeled and his teams are tougher and feistier than most anyone they play.
And on...
