“Come on man. What is there to talk about? Man, he’s a winner. He’s a winning coach. Did we have some bumps this year? Yeah, but every team, every organization, everybody goes through it. But we don’t we look at firing a man who obviously has won 10+ games two years in a row, who has taken this organization to three playoff appearances three years in a row. That’s the (?) respect. Coach is a good leader for this team, he does a really good job. Did we come up short? Yeah. Did things happen this year? Yeah. But I don’t discuss about firing a man, this man got a family, I don’t discuss anything about that.”

That’s pretty good from Cox. Wouldn’t mind hearing more about that second-to-last sentence, though. “Did things happen this year? Yeah.” That was my second takeaway from that quote. Tell us more about these “things.” We’ll set the odds on hearing more about that at +10000.

UPDATE – here’s a longer version with Cox telling someone they are a clown:
