But if the main reason for giving Mike the benefit of the doubt is based on the fact that we could not afford anything better, the insinuations are all negative. You can’t get to a positive by going all negative.
2-2 does not mean the house is broke. None of the facts above would change whether we were 4-0 or 0-4 right now.
I get frustrated because there are moments like this, when we are on a down slide for 2 games (2!), and some voices that sound a lot like “know your place” sneak up on this board in very subtle ways. So I call it out.
“Mike is all we could afford” = “know your place”
