Quote:Ok, but you're acting like you or others have not berated people at times who questioned the coaching staff.  there were things that you could see very early and say, "hmm, this isnt right." not that i was necessarily one of them, but thats what he's talking about.

I'm not a big time "berater" in general unless someone is pushing their opinion with a lot of attitude and with disrespect to mine or someone else's.

 

That said -  I've called out posters who were blaming coaches for player's mistakes and for general lack of talent on the roster. I don't regret that. 

 

Now that it's looking like the talent on the roster isn't going to make a difference to this coaching staff, I glady, happily and humbly apologize to anyone who took grief from me in one of those particular posts where coaching may have indeed been the problem.

  There may have been a dozen such instances in the past two years. I'll own that. 

 

If that's "taking lumps" - so be it - but I don't apologize for being optimistic and patient.  That would be insane.
