Actually, its the team that has secured some recent positive results. I'll leave it to you to establish the cause and effect relationship between those results and specific things Ellinger is doing.

In other words, if he's responsible for the recent results, then I assume he is also responsible for the 0-4-1 record that he garnered until the Pastorino move.

If he is the cause of the results, then I assume that he must be doing something different to secure different results because you don't get different results by doing the same things.

Since you seem to attend the training sessions, perhaps you can enlighten me as to what he's doing differently and why he can claim responsibility for the recent results.

The coach, as we've already established, is ultimately responsible for results. Good or bad. Therefore, yes, he is to be expected to hold up under the pressure during losses, and be basked in glory for the wins. Right now, he's doing a lot of basking, and he's entitled to it.

I think Pastorino could have had an indirect influence perhaps on Coach Ellinger's coaching style or philosophy, if not on the players themselves. Who knows?

I predict that it won't be enough to keep us afloat in the coming month. We'll go 1-2-2 in the next five games and stay in the bottom of the barrel.

Could be a good cop - bad cop scenario. Ellinger is the coach, close to the players and such. Pastorino comes in and doesn't have the ties to the players. Who knows?
