The team never got going under his tutelage. And now it's deja vu, all over again.

The death knell of that season was when we beat a team 5 - 0 and Brent came out to the media and whined and said it was a bad game because we didn't play the "right way".
Media and fans laughed and gushed and proclaimed "oh man, if that's them playing the wrong way, just wait until we're playing the right way". Unfortunately, what he did was dismantle our offensive style that was fun and producing results and ruined the whole season.
