Dude. He took Atlanta from 74 points in his first half season to 97 points in his 4th year and first place in the division, and their first ever playoff berth. That’s not really ‘getting nowhere’.
Then got 6 games in to the next season and got turfed. But it was 4 straight years of better results.
And being demanding isn’t being two faced. Both him and Darryl were protective of their players externally, which is admirable. It’s way lousier and counterproductive to publicize issues you have with particular players
