First, on Xs and Os, no one was better.
Second, the quotes he is known for are absolutely true.
Third, the vast majority of the team couldn't stand Reid and hated playing for him. I could back this up with some examples but I want to honor the trust given me by these players, even after so many years. It came to a head and he was fired - not for wins/losses, but for how he treated his players.
The players didn't seem to take much issue with Randy/Robby running point - or with them personally. They were skilled kids who did a decent job on the floor, and fairly easy to get a long with. I think most of that criticism came from fans.
