Not how I see it. Hird is sobbing into his pillow (embroided with Hirdy #5) right now, this guy is fronting a firing squad and trying to defend himself, take responsibility, protect a friend, re-assure members, appease the media, acknowledge the players simultaneously. This guy is legit... Though he's failing because this task is impossible.
Sums it up well. He was a mess tonight, understandably. But I've got no sympathy for him.
