Does Mike Brown need to hire a formal GM and make better decisions..Yes
- Respect: Whitworth says he respects Brown's honesty and appreciates what he did for Whitworth and his family.
- Handwritten notes: Brown has written handwritten notes to Whitworth, including on the birth of Whitworth's daughter, the publication of Whitworth's memoir, and Whitworth's retirement.
- Framed letter: Whitworth has a framed letter from Brown in his office.
- Caesar..I may be a "newbie" on this Board..but in reviewing your posts ..all you do is find fault with the team and denigrate others that dont agree with you..You fault myself and others for appreciating the recent success of the team so I guess the only way to get in your good graces is to be bitter and angry and live in the past..
Again, for a 32 year long season ticket holder you dont know much about the Whit situation.
His deal was with Mike Brown, and Mike alone. When Whit approached Troy Blackburn afterwards, Blackburn told him he didnt want to talk to him, that he disagreed with the extra year, and seemingly disrespectful.
I dont need anyone in my good graces, just be a little informed. I have been a fan longer than 32 years, I have seen us have good teams and I have seen the front office not do what it takes to get over the hump to make it happen.
It is also stupid to chastise fans that are not happy with a 3-5 team that was supposed to contend for a SB. I've not given up yet but chastising people who make credible, critical comments its annoying. You do that and then apologize for being such a pumper. I dont. When they are good I say they are good, when they are bad I say they are bad. I haven't called for any firings other than ownership and the front office, for a variety of reasons.
