I'm not really talking about fan interactions because I've met him there. I'm talking more about how he throws his players under the bus consistently especially when PM fricks up himself and never calls himself out. I find it hard to respect someone who does that. I do think he's a good coach and definitely don't want to see him go. I'm just saying I don't like him as a person which is okay since he gets the job done.

He probably does it as a coaching strategy to maybe motivate players. I really don't know but I'm not the one who gets paid to do it either. Doesn't mean I have to like it either. I feel like if you're going to toss someone under the bus then you should have no problems admitting to your own frick ups as the head coach. I think it's very disingenuous how he treats some of our players. Let's be real here, he's a good coach but he's not flawless either.

Coach has always been nice to me in my interactions with him. Publicly he is a really nice person. Some players and their family members will tell you that there is another side to him.

I agree with you. He's a good coach and I did not want to see him go. Much like when you change pitchers, you don't know for sure what the next guy will have.

You have selective memory....

That's just 3 examples of Mainieri criticizing his own coaching for a loss.

Seriously I'm looking for an original and interesting talking point in your tirade, but haven't found it. Basically what you are trying to say is that you heard your pals and you have read things on the Rant (

)and you repeat them.
BTW the "throwing the players under the bus" is pretty stale and trite by now.You birds need to come up with something new.
What is interesting to me is that Rantards seem to resent how he interacts with his players more than the players them selves do. You people are a very sensitive lot.
