of the failings in his game/preparation — while it likely helps that man in dealing with his own life (& good for him being brave & honest & accessing his current state), with the good of his team in mind — it's a sign that things probably won't end all too well with him running the team.
If there's a guy who fights through his depression & makes good as a team leader, I'd expect it's that guy who we hear about his depression only years later — if ever.
And so, yeah, I sympathize w Skip's position. As someone who's fought (& lost) a lot with depression in my own life.
