Can’t blame him for making those comments. He’s going to say all the right things even if he truly realizes the team is bad.
What concerns is me more is what the vibe is around management. If they share in the narrative that “this is a good team that is simplify underperforming” then we are in for a slow, painful ride. It’s shameful that this team has to go into a rebuild kicking and screaming.
To me this is on Conroy at the moment. He needs to convince ownership and Maloney that the only way out of this mess is via a rebuild. If he continues to preach the same nonsense as Tre, believing in this group and the need to adjust to different coaching etc then it’s just going to inevitably delay what needs to happen.
