I didn’t explicitly state it - but the only way I would have stayed is if Fran had a mea culpa moment with the team and communicated the path forward.  Expecting people in any position you deal with to be perfect is a fantastic way to have nothing but miserable, failed relationships.  Giving them some grace if they own it when they don’t meet their commitments to you builds [B]stronger[/B] relationships.

I’d be astonished if Fran didn’t get that message out in some way to the team.  If he didn’t, I’ve completely misread his character.  I also know when I’ve had situations like this where either I let someone know I’d messed up or was told that by someone else - it didn’t go beyond the four walls of the room that conversation occurred in.  So it doesn’t concern me that we don’t know - I’d be more concerned if we did know he told the team he’d let them down since that might have been more for public show than sincere communication.

I’m hoping that the reason we’re not seeing guys leave en masse is because the way Fran handled this with the team brought them closer together with a focus on getting back on track in 2026.  We might not have a successful season even if that happened - life isn’t fair and sometime failure happens no matter how hard you try.  But at least we’ll have a shot at it.
