Here is the article and what was published online:
When considering who to choose as their Head Coach, the Salt Lake Lions organization had many variables to consider. Among the top categories were: adaptability, creativity, commitment, vision and leadership. They needed someone who could throw off the veil of tradition and respond to a new type of Ultimate Disc play.
The Lions needed someone with the vision to see the game change, the hindsight to know where it is headed, and the flexibility to change strategies on the fly. They were tasked with finding a person whose dedication to this sport and coaching would be hard to match, and a person whom they could trust implicitly – with the team, the sport and the organization as a whole.
There could be no confusion on where that person stood, no misgivings about their placement on staff and no room for second-guessing. There were many excellent candidates who hit most of those marks, though only one man who filled all the areas. After careful deliberation, and a rigorous vetting process, the Salt Lake Lions came to a conclusion: they would call upon a USU alumni named McCord Larsen.
Known for his unusual ideas, and creative outlook on the game, Coach Larsen will help the Lions to adapt to the new style and level of play which is prevalent in the AUDL (American Ultimate Disc League). This is a man who has already pulled away from the culture of the Horizontal and Vertical stack to utilize his own formations – a person who adjusts without bias and limitations.
His meticulous nature, socratic method and open book demeanor make McCord an excellent choice for a Head Coach. Everyone has a voice on his teams, and everyone has something to offer. Pulling from all angles, Coach Larsen is notorious for going against the grain and throwing opposition off-base – a skill the Lions plan to see from him this season.
