I got into this business to guide kids and mentor and coach them. Although the wins and losses are not secondary, they dictate whether you get questions asked about the resignation or not. It?s never been suggested to me. There?s been plenty of times that option could have come up.

bit breaking good happy lift marshall played reason since
