nobody knew anything.
That's not true! Some of us expressed that he had shown signs of being able to coach. We understood that early on he was trying to see what he had at the same time learning how to use his team. We still don't know just how good Fish will be as a coach but he's growing in the job.
we can say that everybody is great and some will actually end up being good.
your contributions in your own thread have been outstanding. thanks for these 5star posts.
All I hear from these guys is how Nixluva is always wrong! Then when things actually work out as I stated, they say it's just a fluke! Well that's not the case when you break down into detail how you think things will work out. Some of us just understood what was really going on and it's not about just throwing positive crap at the wall. Saying that is just a lame way to avoid giving credit.
Please, Phil could have trotted out a head of lettuce as head coach and you would be on board 100 percent.
Yeah that's what I'd expect from you! I'm quite comfortable with my statements in threads which fully support what I'm saying. I was very fair in my assessment of Fish. I called him an average coach at this stage of his career. Nothing Pollyanna about the but keep on spouting your nonsense anyway. I back up the things I post with facts and reason.
If you were more willing to admit when you got things wrong, you might not be seen as a homer. Fisher was coaching like someone who was unsure of himself, which is why he was changing up things that were working, not because of some brilliant plan.
I said that Fisher needs to do a better job of making decisions for me to want him back in NY, and he's starting to, but there is still half a season to go. Im happy with his and the team's progress, but Im still waiting to see how things shake out. Doesn't make me a hater.
