Strange to see everyone acting like they've got post-nut-regret over this whole situation. Everyone who got their long-time dream suddenly isn't quite as celebratory of this rapturous blessing as expected.I maintain my view that Pete is currently a top 15 HC. I hope his replacement will see us once again become a team capable of going deep into the play-offs and having a decent chance of the play-offs, I fear in 12 months time after a 5-12 season we start to realise "Fire Pete" wasn't the solution it was cracked up to be.
It's a different conversation when you have to confront the feeling of uncertainty that none of us have had to acknowledge for close to 15 years.
As it turns out, a near-guarantee of a floor of .500? Valuable thing. Many other fans of more typical organizations would kill for it.
Lots of cool possibilities coming up here, but walking along a tightrope feels a little different when you pull the safety net from under it. I think that's sinking in for everyone.
