In enters a fiery skipper, mixing it up with the media, standing at the pulpit of despair and uttering music to every Philadelphia fan's ears: "Losing will not be tolerated."

Each loss took 25 grown men to the brink of hell. Adults were treated like third graders who skipped line in recess. Fans saw it as "hard-nosed," "stressing accountability," "understanding the culture of professional sports and the heart of a city."
