No, he can rip them in the dressing room but not to the press. If my coach pulls me aside and says I suck and played horribly that's fine...if he goes to the reporters and says Nucci blows...I may have a problem with him.
I say rebuilding and just don't think Nolan is the right coach. These young kids need instruction...not just told to work hard....watch this team in their own end...they have no clue what to do...no breakout plays.....just skating around. That's why they give up 45 shots a game. Just like last time Nolan was here.
There are a number of football announcers that are horrible. I can discuss them here if you'd like.
I agree...maybe the veteran players brought in realize that Nolan's "system" of hard work doesn't cut it without an actual plan of how to play and get out of your own zone. If this team starts out 2-20...or whatever with continued play like yesterday...I believe Nolan is gone.
Don't blast me for asking and I know this team is rebuilding but if no improvement is shown and this team continues to play like this, does Nolan get fired or does he get a pass for the whole year?
