They should've been looking for jobs last month. So any defense of them is going to draw the ire of fans, especially when he's highlighting the success they've had, and not highlighting (and apologizing for) any negatives - which are significant. 

In short, writing letters is nice, but by not firing underperforming coaches (which is why the letter was written), Mike puts himself in a no-win situation. Words aren't going to make anyone happy at this point. He can either write a bunch of nothing and get a "blah" response, or he can make excuses and piss people off further.

Well some will focus on the negatives (be mad) and some will focus on the positives. Each person gets to choose his or her stance. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the letter Mike Brown drafted. It concedes our playoff failures, empathies with the disappointed fan, and tries to give hope to the near future.
