Did anyone see/hear this and have more detail? I'm surprised it hasn't gotten a bigger response since all I remember reading about is from AD/chancellor and the speculative articles and JB responses that it's all BS. This is the first time I've seen that JB actually said he's considering retirement after this year straight from the horses mouth.
I really thought it was more that he might want to coach longer but maybe that's "fake news." Anyways after multi-page threads about silliness like him going to BC how is this not bigger news?
Umm ...bombshell
I've been saying this all year. He doesn't want the David Ortiz retirement tour. He has enough stuff.
Umm ...bombshell
I don't care how much speculation there was about this being JB's last year. Here's JB saying it. Reading those words, I now truly believe this will be his last year. Now we know why we can't recruit 2017 kids.
Wow ...

This would certainly make sense if true... he's deflected questions about it to this point but not sure why he'd change gears now. I do think he has a lot more respect for national media than local media so perhaps he got more candid with DP.
Caling Gillon his best player is pretty strange. I believe he called AWIII something similar not long ago. At the mid-season point he openly stated the team is so terrible due to bad defense and bad PG play (including Frank and Gillon). Yes things have turned around since then but saying Gillon is our best player is a bit of a stretch IMHO.
Maybe, maybe not. It is just as likely that he is trolling Thamel with a comment like that. He was clearly annoyed by that article and what better way to say "you don't know what your talking about" than to say something like this.

It is clear he is our most important. We go as he goes. Hence: best player.

Seriously, I think he meant our best player last night.He meant to say best player under 6'. That's all...

Yeah only like 1000 times has it been brought up.Not really a bombshell.
Some of our "well connected" posters have been saying this for a while now. They wouldn't be surprised to see JB retire after this season ends.
