Since they're the guys that have to go out and win, it's really nice to see the players' excitement about this coach.

Obviously, they're not unhappy about the regime change. That tells me an awful lot.

But has anyone else noticed that all of the positive Hoke comments seem to come from players who were either recruited by Carr initially (Molk, Martin, Stonum, Van Bergen) and/or are excellent fits for a pro style offense (TEs, Outside WRs, bigger guys like Mike Cox)?

I knew that these guys would buy in.  What I'm most interested in is what the players like Martavious Odoms, Jeremy Gallon, Vinnie Smith, other slot receivers, hybrid defensive players, etc, will think.  We need these guys to buy in to be successful this year.  Has anyone heard positive things from these players that might be less initially inclined to like the hiring of Hoke?
