Go back and look at old Hartley quotes and he's very business-like in his approach. He didn't seem like he was having any fun, and he never, ever made any jokes or puns or whatever. I was very happy to have him and his demeanor around the team for so long. He had trouble getting the results in the end, but he always brought a never-say-die attitude to the team, and like Yogi Berra once said, "90% of the game is mental, the other half is physical."
One last time, my favorite Hartley quote, simply because it makes sense, and also makes no sense at the same time:
"Our best players are simply not our best players right now, it's as simple as this." ~Bob Hartley
