Rob Thomson made himself available to reporters on Tuesday, which is rather rare for a manager who just lost his job. Here's why he did: “If you’re an accountable person, if you’re a leader, you’re going to stand up in front of people and answer the questions when it’s all over. And I just wanted to make sure that I did that in the right way. It’s like the last four years, I hope that people feel like, whether I did a good job or a bad job, I represented this organization properly, with class and with dignity. So this is all part of it to me.”
