Well put. That really bugged me about Randy. Professionalism and a sense of urgency is what the leafs need in a coach. IMO Randy didn't seem to have a lot of respect among the players.
I don't know. I think Randy is a likeable person. I think the players liked him and definitely the media did (hence the "Protect Randy/Blame the Players" narrative the media has been pumping).
I think the problem with Randy was the looks of exasperation and the "I don't understand...this is mind-boggling" and constant looks of defeat.
The players look to their coach for leadership and direction and Randy didn't have any to give them.
The players struggle, the coach doesn't give direction/instruction, they struggle more.
