I have to say, I am a little nervous. I know it doesn’t mean much, but if we get excited to get Meeks from a winning team which has a winning tradition, then I have to be a little upset we are getting coaches from crappy teams with a losing tradition. Hopefully we won’t get anyone from the Lions coaching staff.
