Hitchcock: 'I need time' before deciding on future - STLtoday.com
Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said he needed time to reflect on the season before making a decision as to whether he'll return as coach of the Blues next season. "I need time," Hitchcock said. "I need time to reflect, some time to evaluate right now, what I've done, what I've accomplished, what's happened to us, both positive, a lot of it, and the negative, which goes with the territory. I feel like I've let people down right now and I need to look at that and what needs to improve and I want time and space to evaluate it. I'll sit down with Doug, we've been together a long time, I know how good a coach I am, I know what I can do.... ' I'm not going to put a timeline on it. It's not going to be 'You come back in 18 days and I'll have an answer. He needs time to reflect, I need to give him that time to reflect. The one thing that we have with each other has been honesty - honesty when we weren't working together for the better part of a decade to honesty when we have been working together for the better part of over a decade. So hey, we're big boys, he gets it, I get, I've got to do my job, he has to do his job and we're going to continue to talk and move this forward. Source: www.stltoday.com
