Monson: Doctor’s advice to Sloan: Go ahead and coach, again, Jerry

Come on in to Dr. Feelgood?s office, Mr. Sloan. Take a load off, get comfortable, punch up a pillow, and the good doctor will be right with you. ?

Thanks, Nurse Ratched.

Jerry? How you been, you old coot?

Hey, Doc. I?m OK, in a limited sort of way.

We haven?t seen you in here in a while. Not since ? since ? D-Will made your life miserable and then ran you off. Those were strange times, weren?t they? Back when he was telling you to do anatomically impossible things to yourself in the middle of practice, when he was busting plays right in your face during games, and you felt hurt and angry and disrespected and alone and somewhat paranoid that nobody was listening to you and everybody was out to get you, so much so that you did what you never do ? you up and quit on your team in the middle of the season ?

Yeah, Doc, thanks for freshening all of that up for me.

So, what?s banging around inside your head today?

I wanna coach again, Doc.

You do?

No.

You don?t?

Yes.

You do?

No.

Hmmmmm ? I see.

I?m bored, Doc. But how bored am I? I dunno. Somebody once told me never to retire from something, but instead retire to something. I retired to nothing. I can only piddle around back on the farm for so long, you know?

Go on.
