Class of 96
Bencher
Would be interesting to be aware of Barrett "s motivation to tender his resignation mid last season and not wait until the official end of the season . A tactic to place himself in a better position to force the Penn "s hand more favorably his way in any settlement pay out or to improve his opportunity to seek alternative coaching employment or both ?. Must have been fully aware however how much disruption and instability from mid season that this action then would have caused or manifested for the playing group , the club in general and the club"s short term welfare . Combined with some of the other inconsistencies and also lack of accountability for his coaching practices , still hardly places him in an overall good light . Sure the blame game can be shared around a bit but continues to be very difficult to absolve Trent of his very pronounced self interest and distinct lack of general concern again for his playing group and club"s best interests during the whole episode .
Spot on Al. It was a gutless selfish cynical thing for Barrett to do trying to hedge his bets with absolutely zero respect for the club, players and fans. If he had done that to another club, my thoughts would be no different. His sitting on the fence attitude to the whole fiasco was a reflection of his sh^thouse coaching ability.
