Sheldon Keefe's full quote about if he feels he'll see things through as coach of the Maple Leafs: "So, you know, I'm in the coaching business and in the coaching business, you don't get to make decisions about, about, you know, your position. So for me, it's, it's out of my control. My job is to find solutions and help direct and create a path for our team to continue to move forward. And that's my focus. I understand that ownership and management, you know, they make those types of decisions. And as I said, I accept responsibility for not meeting results. I believe in myself greatly. I love coaching the Toronto Maple Leafs. Now more than ever, I believe in myself and our team and that I will win and our team will win. I've been through a lot, you know, as a coach, in my career and, you know, to get to this, to this level and, and, and I've won a lot, you know, before coming here and the path always looks different. But you'll learn along the way. And I've learned a lot through my experience and, and I know I'm in a good place. That decision's out of my control. You know, my job is to, is to continue to work, to find solutions and continue to improve as a coach. And then at the same time, you know, take accountability for the fact that we haven't met expectations and decisions like, like you're alluding to are out of my control. But I certainly would like the attention and focus to be on me as the head coach and leader. And you got to be accountable when you don't meet expectations."
