I think DA is Getting Year 4

I think one of the bigger missteps in terms of the DA hire was selling him as a continuation of the winning culture and standard that we had all become accustomed to. I think not doing a soft rebuild from day one of DA becoming HC was a mistake that we'll be feeling for another couple of years.

If they had hired DA and been honest with themselves and us that the team needed some help, and sold DA as the right person to navigate this team through the soft rebuild then we may have had some more leeway with him the last couple of years and moving forward.

Now we're finally doing what we should have done, and in addition to very possibly missing the playoffs again, we're also likely going to get DA for even longer. It just makes these last couple of years feel like a waste.
