Having a hard line drawn makes it really easy for everyone (players, coaches and management) to gauge personal and team success. Wishy washy performance targets and undeserved praise are to no one’s benefit.
In a scenario like yours it’s easy enough to say “It was a good effort this year even if the result wasn’t there. Get ready to be even better next year, here’s what you need to work on…”
Maybe you and others are A-OK with simply making the playoffs, that’s fine if that’s the result you’ve deemed acceptable. It is interesting though, given the tendency for this team to be average and some posters constantly coming to the defence of any flames related criticism (not you specifically). People still buy seasons tickets despite this team being bland, so there must be a market for mediocrity.
