Message: [QUOTE="Dave, post: 5293168, member: 1226"] It IS good, and thoughtful. How we respond to gifts given is a personal thing. How and why we began to decline is a nuanced, subjective thing. I guess I fully believe he would have pulled us out of the slide. Why? Because of all the many times people said he/we couldn’t, and he did anyway. The money? The rewards for a coaching life? That’s irrelevant. He was abundantly blessed for his body of work. That is what happens when you succeed in certain fields. Respect, admiration for a legacy of excellence is what he deserves and what I and mine will always give him. I honor him for the excitement and joy and nail biting and cussing and for all the highs and lows in a stratosphere many fan bases can only dream of. [/QUOTE]
