Maybe all of us – fans and media alike – should be a little more thoughtful and a little more patient before we write columns, blogs or Twitter posts calling for a coach to be fired.

He mourned like he’d just lost a loved one.
“My wife and I likened it a little bit to grieving after a death,” Kreis told me Wednesday during an interview on my Open Mike radio show.
