This is an interesting thing as far as accountability goes.
Feaster was the hatchet man.
Sutter came in clean slate, built a playoff team and a good one at that, for years.
Sutter wasn’t tasked with the unpleasant messaging that ultimately had to be delivered, and Brad was the beneficiary.
Brad has not been called in to make any tough decisions (aside from the Peters situation but the decision was actually obvious).
In fact, what a great opportunity Brad had. He comes in with a lot of pieces in place, a young fast hard working team, culture of accountability, otherwise clean slate, and tons of cap space
Dream job and I’m sure he has had fun, but has squandered the opportunity. Enough of guys learning on the job. I’ve seen all I need to see
Again, time for one last process, the process of dismissal
