I am not a Painter-hater, nor have I said at any point that I would rather have someone else...Name the coaches you would rather have than CMP that are currently coaching. I asked this if a Painter hater on KHC and they could only come up with 12.
I assume that "12" is a typo, or, someone else must really indeed not like him.
It has nothing at all to do with wanting someone else...you were the one that has tried to go to great lengths to establish that he is some tremendous coach...really good coach, I agree wholeheartedly, but, just as he has done more with less a lot, he has done less with more on more than one occasion as well unfortunately.
Again...with the way things are at the moment...it does not even matter.
I think you are wrong as to how long he may stay...and, I don't think there is a candidate right now from his tree that would make sense...for the moment though, it too does not matter.
