Quote:He had a tough go of it in NY on two separate occasions in terms of relating to the younger players and respecting the vets. 

 

After a few years he had a near mutiny on his hands and  then later after the rings had lost some lustre the whole thing happened all over again. Each time the front office had to ask him to tone down the authoritarian vibe. 

 

Him being out of touch with the modern pro athlete is not some made up fairy tale.  I like the guy a lot, but I'd rather him have a front office advising role than take over such a young roster. 

Could he come in and get these underachieving bozos coached up?  Maybe.  I can't be certain.

I'd just rather find an experienced coach that's got a few less generational gaps between him and the core of this team.
