So yeah, I trusted that two bit donkey faced garbage pile..

I don't think you have to trust them. 


You should give them the benefit of the doubt.  You should have hope that they work out.  But I think trust should be earned.  For the first year it should be 'wait and see'.  And then barring a major mistake or turnaround, year two should be 'wait and see' as well.  

 

I never got the reason people trusted Gene Smith.  In the beginning I was with the "Wait and See" crowd.  Just like I am with Caldwell.  They deserve the benefit of the doubt for their first year.  Give time to see how players pan out, how things shape up, etc.. 

 

Looking back at it... the only thing I can see is Vic Ketchman saying some positive things about him and Tom Coughlin doing the same (several years ago).  


I get why people wanted to believe.  I just didn't get why they did.  Because I wanted to believe too.
