That would definitely help in the transition of styles. BB was a players coach and was really good at it. If the players are excited about the hire, it would definitely help in buying into said coach's style/philosophy.

[Paulsooie]

Absolutely. He seems pretty fiery too.

Yeah well Arkansas players wanted Reggie Herring at one time. But I sure as heck want Norvell over Chad Morris

Bring Reg and his pink jerseys back, defense needs a little pushing.

Players being excited is the only thing that scares me about him thus far. How many "players' coaches" achieve at the highest levels consistently?

They're not excited because he's a player's coach, they are excited at the thought of playing in his system.
