I understand that any major undertaking is a process. You focus on the small tasks and issues that you can control in order to implement a larger plan and goal. To this end I get how some want to look at the incremental statistical improvement. At some point you focus on the big picture to see if the process is working. If you arent accomplishing the goal then your process is flawed. When do we get to that point? I personally think year 3 is that point.
Bigger question, what is wrong with accountability for not achieving as you should? Some people on this board sound like the employee that is upset with their review when they knew good and well ahead of time that they had not hit the goals. Is it the fact that we were further ahead from a talent perspective than we expected this year and some fans feel we are playing with house money? Are these the employees that hits goal in the first quarter then feel like they can do nothing the rest of the year?
Further, why would anyone think that fan frustration hurts the program? In my daily life I focus on the positive as much as possible. To that end I understand being turned off by the negativity. Have any of you ever spent time in the northeast? I know pro sports are a different animal, but Ive never heard anyone claim that the fan passion for winning/losing hurts the team.
