How did you interpret his comments?
I don't think I paraphrased him unfairly; he was having a sook.
Backtracked a bit later in the week with the old 'well, I was asked the question' ''defense'' which I found just as irritating; take ownership of your comments or else be smarter and don't give a straight answer (something that he is perfectly capable of).
I don’t need to interpret it.
The reality of it is a that it’s not an easy job. You can be passionate and love it and at the same time have some pretty big lows. Anything with that much pressure, vested interest, high profile and high stakes has amazing positive and negative emotional impact.
There wouldn’t be a coach in the world in professional sports who would think the same thing. It’s normal and very human. And him being honest about it doesn’t suddenly make him look like he hates his job.
