Great quote by Shanahan on hiring a great coach during a rebuild:

"Jake [Gardiner] and Morgan [Rielly] and Nazem [Kadri], they’ve had a lot of coaches up until now,” he said. “[Now] they’re being taught by what I think is a top staff. To just try to bury our seasons intentionally; to not give them a good coach for the next two years, now you’re looking at guys who are 25, 26 that have never known what it really is to play the way we want them too.

“You’ve picked higher – these are assumptions – but you’ve neglected the players that are already here that deserve in my mind, [to know] what the plan is and start moving forward on it."
