A couple of things, although this is starting to get far afield:
First, a number of posters were right about the fact that Guliutzan was not performing well as a coach, but that is different from being right about WHY.
Second, there is some truth to being "book smart" v. "street smart," and I do accept that someone can form viably true gut instincts about various situations. Is this one of them? Maybe. However, there comes a point in time in which "street smarts" require external validation. When one publicizes her or his opinion on a subject she or he is not absolved of the requirement to show the validity of the point regardless of the strength of conviction.
So, if this is your way of saying, "Trust me. I just know," then I am sorry, but no, I do not. I don't think it is untoward at all to expect those who harbour strong feelings to inspect them and to justify their convictions with useful evidence. I don't think I should have to apologize for not feeling as strongly as others when the evidence to support such feelings is fatuous.
I am honestly interested to know how strongly you are convinced about this.

I don't agree with everything you're saying, but you do make a very good point.
Remember when people were saying Gulutzan is a terrible coach because he he looked at the iPad after goals against? These types of things aren't cut and paste.
