From being stuck in the past, to holding onto coaches and players too long, to not caring what fans think even if change could benefit him , etc. He’s just an incredibly stubborn individual.

I did add to my original post...lost track of what I was doing.

I'm saying the guy would likely be a lot less stubborn if he had someone keeping him accountable for the failings that stubbornness leads to.  It's like this...in high school one of our friends was late, always late.  We'd say "Hey, we're going to walk down to the pizza place, want to come with?"  And he'd say "Yeah, I'll be right over."  And we'd wait an hour and then walk to his place and he'd be sitting on his computer on ICQ and barely acknowledge us walking in.  We'd sit there a while and after the 10th time he said "Just a minute and we'll go" we'd leave without him.

Now this same guy held down a job, so he clearly knew how to show up someplace on time when he was supposed to be on time.  He would have been fired if he showed up hours late for work.  At one point in my life I'd take stuff like this personally, but then I realized that it just wasn't worth it.  We, his friends, had no authority other than just going without him to punish the guy so he didn't need to put forth the effort to "stop being late."  He wasn't "always late" he was just none to respectful of our time and didn't care if his word meant zilch to us.

So that's how I see it.  Mike Brown went to law school and I assume he didn't just go in there and say "This is the way I do law, now recognize it and give me my damn degree."
