So many (and I mean many…) posters on this very website levied the same criticisms or complaints about the previous coaches over those various times. And every time on this site it was met with the usual rejection and appeal to authority arguments constantly made by long term resident posters. How many times did Jiri or timbit, specifically and for example but also Bingo and others come to the coaches defence time and time again?

This stuff gets stated and often inaccurately.
Both Bingo and I were not fond of the Geoff Ward retention. And I said repeatedly that he should be fired. So why am I labeled as someone who came to the coaches defence time and time again?
And if I did. Who cares? Why is it so offensive to you that someone has a different opinion. Get over yourself.
What I have said is that I felt more of the accountability should rest with the players. And I still feel that way. But Sutter's impact so far has been surprising to me and I would like nothing more to be wrong, and he be the key ingredient in this team being a contender. Ultimately I don't care about being right - I care about this team winning.
But you describing me as someone who came to the coaches defense "time and time again" is lazy and inaccurate. And again- who cares if I did. People can have a different view and that should be OK.
Who I have defended is the GM. That should be Ok too.
