The undesirable but most likely reality.

That’s what I am saying. It only takes forever when you go full dumb dumb. And not coincidentally it’s usually when an owner, senior exec, GM, and/or HC have too much control and think they know better than what is being proven to work across the league.

It sure looks like Loomis is there.
Just to add to your comment:
There's a term that floats around, "changing the culture"... I don't know if I'd call it "culture", but a change in attitude, approach.. when you are in a rut, you will not get out of the rut by going full dumb dumb doing the same things, you get out of the rut by doing things differently.
