Well think about for a second though. Have you ever had to deal with a difficult situation where you feel it is in the best interest if you don't make it front page news? You might say, "everything's great" when maybe their not, but you do that in order to buy yourself time to defuse the situation. Now, I'm not saying this is exactly what happened in the Coles situation, but I don't think it was a situation where the team, namely Coach Gibbs, changed his mind. More than likely, it probably was a situation where he remained optimisitic until the point where he realized his optimism was in vain.
