I think the biggest issue was how he phrased things coming into the season. Had the approach preseason been “this is a rebuild but are goal is to over achieve”, I think we would all feel just a bit different.

Was a big mistake (and learning XP for Bray) to set the expectations so high.
This team needed to be nurtured as underdogs building for the future and counting every small victory as a win building towards something, not challenged to live up to the success of the recent past.
That being said, I hope he does what Smith couldn’t do and that is fire coordinators when it’s apparent things aren’t work. Smith waited one year too long to fire Tibesar, and still hasn’t fired Lindgren.
