If his job was to tank and he intentionally coached in a way to make sure they tanked, then he’s an awful coach for shitting on them in the process. If tanking was the assignment then there’s no need to remind them that were so awful defensively.

This also means there was no good reason for him to take so many jabs at them through the media, because they were essentially serving a different purpose.

That also assumes that this team, as constructed, under these circumstances, was capable of winning significantly more games if he was coaching his ass off… which, if true, makes this much worse. He could have done his job and tanked the team without throwing them under the bus in the process but he did.

Byron actually looks much worse with your defense.
