I agree.
But, since then, it would have been nice for them to find an heir apparent, who ideally would be starting now, so that they wouldn't have needed to re-sign Birk.

Gino had better be working like mad in the weight room and be paying attention in class. He's probably going to be given the role next year. I think we are stuck with Birk the rest of the year.
