Temp check: Rod Brindamour

[ref19]

Ignoring the recent Rantanen rumor, it’s no secret that guys don’t love playing for the bod, but he’s a good tactician if not a great motivator. Do you want him in Raleigh long term?

The temperature of the takes we’ve read the past few weeks is as hot as the sun.

I hate Brind’Amour, but to be fair, I hate everyone, so my input is worthless.

these two clauses invalidate anything else you might have to say. You may as well come in here and say “it’s no secret water is dry but the sky is green and grass is blue”

standard human body temperature is 98.6 degrees fahrenheit, give or take a degree

i imagine rod's temp would be somewhere around that if checked

Of all the takes we've seen, this might be the hottest

Is there any coach in the league players have publicly spoken about how much they love playing for than Rod?

you might as well have said “it’s no secret that the sky is green”

The majority of players have talked about how they love playing for RBA, and the one consistent criticism about him is that he’s not a very good tactician. So your read is VERY far off.

Also, he just signed a new 5 year contract this past offseason. It doesn’t get much more “long term” for a coach.

Well he is a ref so expecting him to get things right half the time would be a reach.

Let’s hope the person sent to check isn’t required to get it rectally.

Wasn’t there just a players poll about coaches you’d most like to play for and Rod was in the top 5?

It’s tough to come to a board not your own and be this full of shit - but you’ve managed. Congrats!

I'm not sure which is a worse take...players don't want to play for Rod? Or that he's a good tactician? Is it opposite day?
