That's irrelevant. We don't have the horses to pull it off. A good coach adjusts to personnel he has at his disposal.

I will give GG credit for benching Bartkowski for good. But take the credit away for having him in the lineup to start with.

Credit for taking Brouwer off the PP. Only took 40 games, ugh.

Gio on first PP. Finally. Only took 40 games?

Hathaway, Janko, Mangipane etc. Should have been given a better look to start the season. Only Janko had a great camp, but it' s not like the vets played well either.

This team is playing better because of those roster changes. So we have to credit GG for making them, but we also have to call him out for not seeing it earlier. Most outsiders saw it.

Win a playoff round. That's my bar for GG. Winning streaks don't change much when the body of work is years of suck and inconsistency. But I am very happy to see the team keep winning, GG or not.
