Thompson was indeed a little surprised. "Salary and benefits are arbitrary", and even if it is placed among the four major professional leagues in North America, it is probably the first time.

This is professional sports, not supermarket selection. Behind every number and every condition, there must be conflicts and calculations of interests. How can it be casual? How can it not be the key point? Did the team ask Lu Yiqi to work for a free year, so he agreed directly?

In Thompson's perception, this was an unheard of action, and even a little stupid, that he began to doubt his judgment, "Is it because I am outdated? My thoughts can't keep up with the pace of young people now? This... this shouldn't be."

But Thompson is still experienced and calmed down after a brief panic:

Lu Yiqi is not an idiot.

Thompson was very sure and sure, not only was he not an idiot, but also very smart. Even Lars couldn't help but express his appreciation for the strong confidence aura of retreating to advance. Even Thompson himself could not help but look at him with admiration, undoubtedly left a deep impression.

"Are you sure?" Thompson finally said the first sentence, without hiding his surprise, "Then is enough to sign a dollar for one year?"

"Ha, of course. Does this mean that I can enjoy the presidential treatment?" Lu Yiqi was not panicked at all, but joked.

In the United States, senior leaders or senior officials of large companies often choose to only accept an annual salary of one dollar for different reasons to show their dedication and focus on their work. This can also be regarded as a gesture.

Faced with Thompson's joke, Lu Yiqi also responded with jokes.

Lars even laughed out loud, "Isn't that? The head coach is the president of the team, and we all need to rely on you to take the helm next."

After crossing Thompson, Ruth directly expressed his appreciation.

Thompson didn't mind either, because Lu Yiqi's answer, the smile on his face also rose, and then a meaningful look appeared in his eyes, "Then, we will officially open our arms to welcome your joining. The team is looking forward to the arrival of the new coach."

This time, it was Lu Yiqi's turn to smile and his eyes fell on Thompson. "Before I officially join the team, I have one more thing to discuss. I need to bring my own team to join the team."

really!

The other boot in Thompson's heart finally landed. If Lu Yiqi really had no requirements, then he would be wondering. He always felt that Lu Yiqi should have something else to ask for. The uncertain uneasiness always made people feel uncomfortable and inevitably left a knot. Now that Lu Yiqi finally put forward the conditions, things became much simpler.

Coaching team.

It seems that Lu Yiqi's approach to retreating to advance is indeed unique, and it is also very critical and very important.

The head coach joins a brand new team, and many head coaches have their own teams. After all, teamwork is crucial. Each head coach has his own coach of his own trust, or makes a list to look at the outstanding coaches in the league with a reputation, and then the team manager will poach them.

This is also a normal process.

But the problem is that Lu Yiqi served as head coach for the first time, and he has not even served as offensive coordinator for too long. Where did the team emerge?

Moreover, Lu Yiqi spoke as soon as he spoke, so how big is his appetite?

"Coaching team?" Thompson stabilized again and took control of the situation again. "What size team are we talking about?"

Lu Yiqi completed his draft in a short time, "My colleague at Kansas State University. In the past season, we have been able to achieve a complete victory, and teamwork is very important. Although I am an acting head coach, their work is also an important part, and I look forward to continuing to cooperate."

Thompson and Schneider exchanged glances, while Russ sat next to him like an old monk entering into meditation without reacting, as if he was not ready to get involved.

But it is undeniable that Lu Yiqi's words made Thompson agree: teamwork is the real core of rugby.

"Of course, it's not the entire team, but just a few colleagues in key positions." Lu Yiqi further explained, "Their abilities and levels are not a problem."

Lu Yiqi still understood the measure and did not ask for the replacement of the entire coaching team of Green Bay Packers, but made reservations.

Thompson thought seriously, "No problem, you submit a list and come here to arrange an interview here, and then see what will happen."

With Lu Yiqi's qualifications, it is already very rare to be able to obtain recommendation opportunities and interview opportunities; as for whether they can be hired in the end, it depends on their interview situation - like Lu Yiqi, they also need to withstand the test, after all, the threshold of professional leagues is not so easy to break.

"No problem." Lu Yiqi agreed with the light head, and then he did not talk nonsense and quickly entered the role. "So when did my job start?"

Is this a little too anxious? Can't wait to replace McCarthy? The subsequent cleaning of the Green Bay Packers has not been completed yet.

Thompson's vision on Lu Yiqi seemed meaningful: Could it be that the fox's tail was exposed? Is it so unstoppable?

Lu Yiqi could sense Thompson's eyes, but he was not panicked or retreated. Instead, he said confidently, "The draft and the free market have ended. If I don't speed up, I will not be able to complete the preparations at the beginning of the training camp. This is something we don't want to see."

Although Lu Yiqi has missed the opportunity to use his own ideas to build a main lineup, at least he can have a complete training camp time to build his own tactical system.

Lu Yiqi has a very clear framework for his work. He knows what he should do - don't think about his salary and remuneration for the time being, form his own coaching team, and take over the current situation of the team as soon as possible; he also knows what he should do next - the sooner he understands the team's situation, the faster he can get into the situation, and then completes the preliminary preparations through his coaching team and formulates a training plan for the next training camp.

A brand new coach, that is, a brand new tactical system, also means that the team has heavy work to complete.

Time waits for no one.

Therefore, Lu Yiqi did not retreat or compromise, and he firmly and confidently approached Thompson's sight, and expressed his views boldly and boldly.

"I think your work has begun." Russ signaled the videotapes and materials piled up next to him, and then crossed Thompson to make a decision directly. "As for the head coach's work, you can do it now. We are waiting for you to come to Green Bay to report."

So, things were officially decided...?

What's going on?
