A small area of disagreement. If Mick's job is on the line (I doubt we buy him out), imo, it would be because of his demeanor/statements - not about the team's performance. We lost 2 in a row. We might lose 3, or 4. That, imo, will not get him fired. He's taken a roster of JAG's gotten us ranked, beaten Gonzaga. I can't see him being fired based on performance. But, his words are ridiculous. Someone referred to these guys being professionals now. I agree. However, if an NBA coach said these things, that guy is very likely fired if the team doesn't immediately turn it around.
I don't know what Mick is trying to prove. I don't know if the job is too big for him. But, dude never learned coach-speak. He needs to calm the hell down when he's addressing the public. If he wants to tantrum behind doors, whatever works. But, these public tantrums are what will get the team to quit and what will get him smoked.
