Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3289215, member: 9853"] It's a bit of a chicken/egg scenario when you've worked your team to the bottom of the table, halfway through the season. The media/fans have been hearing for weeks and weeks how you're turning things around, and well, you haven't, otherwise you wouldn't be here. This is when coaches break. There's nothing they can say. No excuses they can make. And no guidebook how to handle it. The club's quickest fix is to find a new coach, blame it on you. And then the fans have their hope glass refilled. But we've just done that, and this coach was who we wanted. The media has been soft on Kevvie, and they're still soft on him. He's not being called incompetent, well not yet, but he's on the way to earning that tag if this trajectory continues. The current "agenda," as the foilhats like to call it, is to give him a serve about his public communication skills, something we can all see is lacking, and something that's part of the coaching toolbox these days. When we see the team is fractured and failing, when we see players being rotated for reasons we don't understand, and we see nothing is working, we look for reasons why. If I were reporting on the Broncos and Kevvie right now, it would be a struggle to keep spinning the positive outlook. The best I could do is say we have two fringe representative players arriving next year, and not make a fuss about the ones we're losing, rejecting or got away. And that's most of what yesterday's press was about. In exchange for spinning this rosy outlook, the least I would ask is a journalist is not to bullshit me, time and time again. [/QUOTE]
