Phil didn't "taint" himself as a coach. His speaking out against the WICB was a good thing.
If anything, Phil "tainted" himself as a West Indian batsman. Watching Phil Simmons bat in the 1990s was more stress than watching Courtney Walsh bat. The guy would just slog like a madman and then cockily strut back to the pavillion.

Not sure what has anyone's off field shenanigans got to do with Cricket?
Yes we expect a certain level of behaviour from our public figures but when they come foul of the law there is due process, which I believe applied in this case with the necessary penalties levied.
Although not an exception, Kennedy is seen to be a good, even great leader and he got up to no good off the job and perhaps on the job!
Is these social media age, there is no place to hide and it is right that wrongs are exposed.
We have all committed errors, some bigger than others!
[size=14pt]There is no evidence to suggest any personal wrongdoing impedes Simmons Jnr in discharging his job as a cricketer. [/size]
Do I think the Coach should have resigned? Yes. Would it have changed anything? No, as the combined influence of CARICOM cannot yet topple the WICB so best for him to be on the inside, aiming to make change that way even if seen as towing the line.
Would be quite happy to see anyone beat the Indians so he is hoping the West indies can do that tomorrow.

The isue here is gross envy, plain and simple. That is so terribly sad......He has no retort due to the paucity of the baseless position!He suffers from a real inferiority complex....he knows it.You will not spend that much time, especially when no one else agrees, to try and continually chastise anyone or a number of people.In law he would be bougt to account for harassment....a leach.Time and time again this imbecile does it.He will always have his foot in his mouth as it explains his estrangement!He lacks substance at best, and sadly one cannot camouflage it, rather he is filled with hate and mainly envy and that which should be flushed to the deepest depth.May he be guided to better grounds.
