Mike will just say that Nichols gives the team the best chance to win, that Nichols is the starter & the coaching staff will close ranks. We have seen this before. Nothing will change. Not yet, anyway.
I'm also tired of watching our HC on the sidelines show little or no emotion. He needs to be more engaged with the players. If he needs to be a cheerleader then be a cheerleader. If he needs to drop the hammer then do it. But this walking around on the sidelines by himself with a half smirk does nothing.
