The last couple of years under Sutter the team was slowly but surely spiraling downward. IMO, Feaster has been able to arrest the decline and the team is now starting to trend in the opposite direction by getting more skilled and a whole lot younger.
A lot of posters seem to expect quick fixes, but realistically I think it's a series of small goals and baby steps over many years that will get this team contending again. So long as I believe it's trending the right way I'll have patience with Feaster.
