Yep. Many years past the '81 and '88 teams, folks (on the old board) thought we would in 2005, and maybe again in 2009. Many probably thought we had a championship in our grasp three or so of the last five seasons. There were endless discussions each of these past five Januarys of how it was finally our year. And, none of those times did we even come anywhere close.
Should he come out and just admit "We're doomed" and shuffle off like Eeyore? I mean, anyone with any football acumen knows they won't do shit this year. No, he's the HC, and it's his job to provide hope and help sell tickets, no matter how ****** they are. It's all they've got up there. So, I can cut the guy some slack. He's the captain of the Titanic, but dammit, he's staying on the bridge.
