O’Reilly: “Last day. A lot of self reflection. I think I have to be mentally tougher, I think I can improve that. It’s not about what I think, it’s about what I do. It starts with training.”
That is a conversation for October, November...
The season is over. They're the worst team in the league, there's nothing they can do to change that.
He's simply reflecting on the season, which was the question he was asked.
Part of leading is being honest, don't sugar coat things or just recite cliches for a sound bite.
I appreciate his honesty. He's not the reason this team sucked. They need more guys like him who hate to lose as much as he does.
