I felt a bit bad jumping on the bandwagon and slamming him, although season 17 was pathetic, so I was trying to be polite and let him save some face with his improved performance.
I don't (feel bad). Samuraj's communication was pathetic. The only thing he did in that regard was whine about the team.
I don't want a NT coach who does that. I already know the issues the team has. I want an NT coach who is going to help do something about it: encourage the community to do better, and be a little more stoic about the realities of where we are. Not moan and tell me it's *my* fault - take some ownership of the situation (whether it's yours to own or not).
