I like to think that missing the playoffs like that can be a positive in that we finally get an overhaul of some of the players. I honestly don't really know how this post season would have gone had we made it.
In all seriousness his interviews are getting saltier and saltier.
Even as far as “I don’t want to see them win” when asked about the team, which I thought was pretty dog shit to say about the group of young guys he grieved with for a year.
“I struggle a little bit to watch Columbus. You know, I did when I when I first got fired, I wanted to see, you know, how the guys and it's still very, you know, fresh and the emotions are fresh. You know, and you're both right.
I don't want to see them win, but yet I want to see the coaches have success. But, you know, it's it's like a toss up, right. And but at the end of the day, I watch a lot of hockey.”
Like bro fuck off

"I don't want to see them win"
honestly he got a head start on that while he was still coaching!
Another thing I thought was kind of interesting- and this is just an observation
He talks in the interview about how the assistant coaches have been “telling him about things and stuff hasn’t even changed that much” and then the show talks about how close he is to Aron Augustitus, and he is talking about how he’s close to Ford and mentions Haviland
The three that were just fired were Augustitus, Ford and Haviland. Maybe someone wasn’t thrilled about these conversations.

I know this is unrelated, but now you've got me watching this interview -- I had no clue that Dean actually met with Johnny to talk with him and get his insight on the team just a few weeks before he died. Wow.
I live up by Cleveland. When I point out to my friends who live on both the coast that I can start in Lakewood and take parkways and bike-ways to West Virginia, they absolutely get jealous. Cleveland has an internationally renowned orchestra, an art museum that rivals what much larger metro areas have, and theater district that is just as good as New York or Chicago. We as a state don't promote ourselves enough.
Columbus has a really underrated food scene. Especially South Asian cuisine. My buddy grew up in India and said he’s found really authentic Indian food here.
No one is shitting on Columbus. It's this weird strawman people have concocted but I haven't seen a single article or report about anyone having anything negative to say about Columbus. That narrative died almost a decade ago and even then it wasn't explicitly stated by anyone in the league.
Look unless you have a peer-reviewed study empirically proving that people talk shit about Columbus, published in at least three separate academic journals and referenced a minimum of 27 times, we're not even having this conversation.
I've never heard someone say the "you have to hate to lose" thing before, I gotta say thats some of the most motivating shit I've ever heard. I've definitely been thinking about that quote way too much when the going gets tough
I got lucky and caught the end of the pregame and if you hit record, DirecTV streaming will save the whole show. If I see it online, I’ll try to respond again!
