I think he is a great choice as coach.
A player who was with Australia during its low points after the retirements of Lillee, Marsh and Chappell. Who was in the team during the early days of its modern day resurgence under Allan Border. Australia cricket came back from a low ebb, I have no doubt Pakistan cricket will do so likewise.
I watch "Fox sports" over here to who Geoff is contracted to, and saw the special interview he gave to his co-hosts on Fox, he tackled the question of religion and cricket head on. "I expect to get together with the players shortly and nut out a consensus of what time and requirements they need for spirituality and what time and requirements they need for cricket".
The sooner Pakistan gets back to regularly hosting home tests/series in all venues the better.
