I took that in good fun, like the "I enjoyed beating Matt LaFleur twice a year" comment. We'll see how he handles things when the firing squad opens after we lose a few games. Arrogance can turn into "I'm not an idiot, I know we need to run more than 7 times" - or maybe he'll handle it well.
I actually loved that. We've had coaches and GMs that have quietly thought they were the smartest guy in the room. Maybe now is the time for a coach that loudly knows he is. Fucking right.
