[QUOTE="spartansstink, post: 130948899, member: 1488840"] Do you believe that expectations would have been higher this year if Dana would have stayed? I don't think anyone would have given us very good odds with what we had lost and the youth and inexperience returning. All of this certainly made it easier for Dana to leave for Houston while his name still had some value. After this year, and the lowered expectations by everyone - coaching staff, fans, the writers - his star would have been on the wane and the value he could receive at his next stop would have been less. So, it would have been "ground zero" this year with or without Dana at the helm. I agree that Brown hasn't won a game here yet. Still, people like his approach to the game, the fans, etc. better than they liked Dana's, generally speaking. Will that formula equal out to more success? Time will tell. I feel that's what has gotten fans "expectations" up more so than what the win total will be this year which likely wasn't going to be great regardless. [/QUOTE]
