So is what he accomplished in his career.
Phil was in the right. Period. It's not an accident that several players immediately took to his defense afterward. Watson took a Rumsfeld approach to management and ****ed it up. He thought he had all the answers and he didn't even understand the questions. Moreover, he was bellicose when confronted with any questioning of his decisions.
It's the same shit in every other sport: you can get away with being an asshole if you're good. Todd Haley was not a good coach, so the asshole schtick wore out quick. Tom Watson was not a good captain.
