I had read this a week or two before the Prohm firing and thought it quite interesting. Now that he is our guy I wanted to find it again and re-read it. He is definitely a hard worker.
A couple of quotes I especially liked:

“He has phenomenal offensive strategies,” Hardy says. “Stuff that I’ve never seen. Just his ability to keep defenses guessing, putting guys in different positions. Sometimes it may look like I’m playing the 4 spot, but really it’s just putting me in a spot to attack where I’m at my best.
Otzelberger has diversified and, at the same time, simplified the playbook. Again, the goal is efficiency. Otzelberger aims to extract maximum value out of every possession, and he does that by streamlining the players’ responsibilities. When the ball is in Hardy’s hands, each set play has been sharpened to the point where split-second decisions come easily."
