all about da packers said:Trom, I do agree with you that it looks like Bates is looking for another HC job. No doubt it will be akward coming face to face with TT for a while if Bates does return to GB.
If Bates leaves, you can officially say that TT is in re-building mode.
I disagree. If Bates leaves, its because another team is willing to take the risk TT wasnt. and rebuilding(coachwise) doesnt really bother me. out of the big 3(Hc,Oc,Dc) there was only 1 in that group that was worth a damn. It would be unfortunate if bates leaves, but thats because hes a HC playing DC. It would only make sense it bates leaves. I would be shocked if he didnt.
