No, a top-10 manager in ANY sport.
Where the hell do they get the confidence to spout this next to another teams cast-off?
He's been involved in successful teams, as has every single addition that's failed up to this point. He's got a lot to prove, and a big mess infront of him. He could very well be the best thing to happen in Edmonton, but why not temper the hype just once?
