Look, he deserved all the criticism he got. He also deserves a ton of credit

He didn’t deserve for people to forget 2020 and 2021, but this season is proving those seasons weren’t a mirage.

You can't blame a guy for hiring one person and not credit him for hiring

But you can blame him for holding on to his Buddy and tanking the D for 5 years too long

Kalani is a CEO. He gets credit for his staff.
