Africa's World Cup
Time. It's the one thing South Africa coach Ottis Gibson wishes he'd had more of. More time to find and nurture a replacement for AB de Villiers. Time to rest his fast bowlers. Time to inculcate brave, adventurous batting into his charges. Time to fail at doing so, and to try again. Fail again. Fail better.
"Time, I would say," Gibson said, when asked what the biggest challenge of his coaching tenure has been. "Having enough time to build a team."
There were other things to deal with off the field. Cricket South Africa is battling multiple challenges, looking to offset forecasted losses of R654 million (approx. USD 47 million) over the next four years and coming up against the South African Cricketers' Association in the process. On the eve of South Africa's World Cup opener, SACA launched legal proceedings against CSA over the decision to restructure domestic cricket as part of a financial recovery plan.
Gibson insisted that CSA's lack of financial clout and the ongoing trouble between CSA and SACA could not be blamed for failure on the field.
"It's not anybody in the boardroom's fault that we didn't play well. I feel like I've had a lot of support. Things haven't gone well, and I'm not going to stand here and throw anybody under the bus or anything.

Time to fire your ass.
You are a waste of time.
How could people see you as a coach.
Your bowlers could not win you games and your forte is bowling coach.
So shut up you fraud.

Gayle, Sarwan, et al?
Maybe like most humans do, he is showing capacity to learn from past transgressions, whether volitional or not.
However, when one's criminal or immoral behavior is strongly supported/defended in reputable, international publications of experts like CCC,he will see nothing wrong in his ways and is wont to repeat.
