I think the preseason remarks from both him about playing 70 games, meaning Omaha without saying it, have given people the false sense that we were going to have immediate success.
I saw it as a bravado and boldness move that he wanted to display to the team, starting at the top with him. How could they carry that swag if he didn’t carry it himself too. Straight leadership move.
I think he is just paying the price to the impatient for having the guts to put his balls on the table.
