We have perhaps become so frustrated at our inability to win a league championship that we undervalue Steve Shields. He is a good coach. To this point, at least, he is not a great coach. We all lament his tendency to over-coach from the sideline, but he is far from being the only coach that suffers from that disease. He has been fairly consistent, avoiding very many awful seasons, but not having very many really good ones, either. Good, but not great.
Steve expects his players to learn and improve from season to season, and he is going to have to hold himself to the same standard. He is going to have to grow as a coach. Each coach has his system and should stick with it. Still, he must show some flexibility and adapt to the specifics of the situation each year.
