To a degree yes. But I also think they are at the point where the whole apple cart could be tipped over by a stiff breeze. Even his little fanclub that we call the local media seems more divided than before. And how could they not be? Dude just turned in a huge stinker... even putting the players themselves aside (who also turned in a huge stinker).
If he goes into next season like business as usual and then proceeds to shit down his leg for the first 20 or so games... even I'M not too sure what his future is, here.
I'm just operating under the assumption that Sullivan's job is safe until he's officially fired. Better for my sanity that way, as opposed to rocking back and forth in a room with his name scrawled all over the walls in chicken scratch like many do around here.
They gave him an extension before his current deal was even up, before the dust had settled following his team's 4th consecutive failure to clear the bar of advancing past the 1st round (after a 3-1 series lead and leads in the final three games). At this point, I won't even pretend to know what the f*** is going on with this team or ownership because a coach with those failures at his feet gets told to pack his shit immediately. But here we are, rooting for a team who has made dysfunction their brand over the course of the past half decade.
We're gluttons for disappointment.
