I watched his press conference at Media Days. He seemed to handle all questions in a polite professional manner. I was just starting to look for some shoulder pads when he finished because he was so energetic. But bristle? No, that guy is just trying to manufacture news. I concede that he's not the most polished speaker, being a first year head coach. But he was really pretty good. And, I am totally non-biased.
