I've seen coaches take a lot of blame, but never this much this quick. Especially confounding since it is literally impossible for anyone to know what the coaches are doing and saying.

Given how we've placed a great deal of faith in our young core it is incredibly difficult to face the possibility that Johnny's struggling, Monahan hit a wall, Bennett isn't progressing as quickly as planned, Brodie has peaked and Gio's best days are behind him.

Those are scary propositions and I didn't even mention Elliott, Hamilton and our bad contracts.


Believing that all those guys form a core worth investing in and one that has contender potential but that a coach is screwing them all up is much more pleasant than facing the possibility we have a middling roster with only 1 star and some prospects who may not pan out as planned.
So players that have accomplished something in this league could take a step back at the young age, but coach that hasn't accomplished squat in this league as a head coach has to be good. Maybe the Head Coach just sucks so it doesn't matter what he's saying. At the end of the day, its up to the coach to get the best out of his players, if he's not then he's not doing his job.
