[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 821816, member: 959"] I think the booing was part of the problem, the other is classic confirmation bias. People worry he is a bad in-game manager, who has challenges with clock management. The double burn time out debacle when many felt we should just be pounding the ball inside with mason till we hit pay dirt didn’t do him favors either. CDP had the better response to the same question IMHO, when he said it’s a fools errand chasing fan approval. If the catch was made then he is a hero and the timeout was brilliant. If the kick was missed he was a fool for not going for it (given our kicking woes) fans are sometimes like Miss Cleo, but with the added benefit of hindsight. Those free readings work when you want them to - vague pronouncements (CGC can’t coach or manage a game) become “confirmed” by choices he makes throughout the games. —[I][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]splitting the section because this next part is a general conversation and no longer responsive to your post nor even directed at you [USER=2642]@Jacket05[/USER][/COLOR][/I] — Perception is a tricky thing. I said in a prior post that my concern is we seem more focused on building the accessories to a winning program than we do on winning games.
