address Tom on that."  Why not just say the last part " I think that you 
would have to address Tom on that" without the lead-in?  He doesn't 
connect the two thoughts.  It feels like a slam to me.

Bear in mind that Callahan was speaking extemporaneously; if he had had 
time to think out what he was going to say, it might have come out a bit 
smoother. Moreover, I really have difficulty interpreting TO's statement 
as anything other than an unintended statement of his thinking on the 
future. I have no doubt that he means what he says about evaluating the 
program after the season, but I also have no doubt that he has at least 
some tentative thoughts about the future, and those thoughts do not 
include Callahan. In that context, and from BC's perspective, Callahan's 
statement may honestly reflect his sentiments toward TO (and was 
probably as honest as anything he has said in four years).
