Can anyone point to any examples of a) Head Coaches publicly criticizing their coaching staff and b) replacements then queuing up to work for that HC?
Reporter asks loaded question and as the public face of the franchise (there's no official GM and the owner only speaks once or twice a year to the media, leaving the Head Coach as the one who has to front up to such questions) it falls on the HC to defend the staff. So the HC expresses confidence in them with some bland platitudes in the same way that when they are replaced in a few weeks he'll say "[Departed Coach] goes with our best wishes but we felt it was time to go in a different direction". He may add "we're grateful for all the work he did" before pivoting to speak at length at how excited they are with the new hire and the direction they are now going.
Presumably the next article is about ursine defecation in areas of thick growth of trees?
