Good pod and good balanced discussion of the real situation of this team/club.
Agree with Steve at 46:30 that this team hasnt thrown in the towel and I would add to it that this team has finally actually put into place solid building blocks of a successful team at 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and we need to fill in the gaps. Most importantly its time to dedicate the time and patience to develop this 1, 6, 7, 9. All of this year and the entire preseason. If by this stage next year then you pull the trigger and fix 7 and coach.
