Because of his impatience, his track record reflects a tendency to mortgage 
the long term future for immediate, short term success as a major component 
of always "looking towards tomorrow". And I would not want anyone in the 
organization wearing both the GM and coaching hats. But I think this is a 
moot point. Does anyone really believe that Philly would release him from his 
contract and allow him to go to a divisional rival and a hated one at that?
