They consistently finish 2nd and won their first trophy since the mid 1990s under him. He loses players to the old firm every season and still puts together a good team. Aberdeen IMO were more than a match for Burnley in the Europa qualifiers. I think unlike Potato he'd also be itching the succeed because of his past record (his time at Bristol City).Not the worst shout. I did a bit of coaching at the Bristol City academy when he was there. Lots of the full-time coaching staff were positive about him and he was very keen to get the academy set up right and to have every age group playing with a consistent approach (simple stuff really!). He made mistakes but provided he learned from them, that is no bad thing. He had a mentor, an old manager, which struck me as a very useful thing. Good coaches/managers need to honestly reflect on both the good and bad things that happen and this is much more likely with a trusted voice outside of the coaching clique, i.e. the people who owe their living to the bloke who they need to be honest with.
