A HC is the guy who when entering a meeting room its immediately a sign to put your phone down and give undivided attention. I dont think Ron, though respected, had that persona about him toward the end because the players had become disillusioned as to his football leadership. The new guy needs to have that aura of leadership and accountability. Purple nurples wont cut it. Not advocating for someone to lead by fear but someone who can communicate and make guys believe. It maybe that is more of what Harris etc are looking for in a HC. I dont believe Johnson exhibited those traits, especially after reading the reports that came out about his insecurities the last 24 hrs, Does MacDonald have those traits? No idea. But I think the in person interviews are invaluable as to giving a good idea as to an individuals leadership qualities.
