[Comment by John Patrick HC]
We look forward to working with Chiba Jets players and staff, and playing our games in front of the league’s most enthusiastic fans.
We want to attract fast-paced, offense and defense-filled play.
Personally, I’m very happy to be back in Japan after coaching in Europe for 16 years.
