31 Thoughts: Clock ticking for struggling Flames - Sportsnet.ca
This is all fascinating to me. I find him not at all self-centered, but rather self-aware and meticulous. He recognizes and acknowledges who's responsible for what and owns his decisions/choices. When I hear him talk about himself it always comes across as him making clear that he made these choices and is responsible for the outcome, good or bad. He talks a lot about accountability. He also has a tremendous sense of his players strengths and weaknesses but never overemphasizes the latter publicly. I've been so impressed with the tone of his pressers and the obvious careful thought that goes into his game-planning. He's obviously a brainiac rather than a firebrand, but I find his approach so refreshing.
But you did say you thought it would shorten his tenure. I'm sure we won't get the full info when he is eventually done in DC, but it's interesting to speculate.
fair enough. i just find it fascinating how 2 people can hear/read the same thing and take such different interpretations away. it's what i do for a living too (editor) so it's just interesting to me.
Sorry for beating dead horse here but you were against Backy being injured, doc. Maybe you need to update your medical license!
