[QUOTE="haasi, post: 1295813, member: 9034"] And I'll just echo - Walker is for sure in a very weird and socially difficult spot here. His friend and mentor Groce just got canned. His two friends and colleagues are about to get canned too but still in limbo for now, and he's the lucky one who might still be set. He's got to somehow lead the team without alienating his fellow coaches, being super respectful of his mentor who just got fired, and taking the appropriately measured response to staying on post Groce firing. And on top of that, he's got to keep the team focused and motivated on the games we are playing. weird spot, and based on his public statements he seems to be handling it with the appropriate measure of dignity accounting for his allegiances to players, Groce, Whitman, new coach, etc. [/QUOTE]
