Quote:No I didn't.  I just went off the quotes people posted.  But 7 wins in 2 years is NO ONES expectation.  That's why I think he's trying to save face.  Just come out and say we haven't performed or we haven't won the games we should have.  I would have more respect for that.

 

It sounded like it was though. I think it really does sound like Dave wanted to go really young the first two years even if it meant minimal success but that he really miscalculated the lack of veteran presence in the team he assembled.

 

Dave took ownership of the team he put together in saying that Khan was willing to spend but Dave chose not to, and that he gave Gus a tougher job by stacking the team with too many inexperienced young guys.

 

If I was to guess, Dave's expectations was probably 2-3 wins last year and realistic 6 wins this season (which we didn't deliver, due to youth, which was his fault).
