But I'm ok with how you want to remember history because your opinion really doesn't matter to me. They were absolutely two great franchises who did not get through transition periods. Part of the onus was definitely on me. I won't deny that, but I absolutely cherish the highs. I know I have trophies/experiences here that most users never get.
Why are you running from this accolade? Embrace it. When I took showboat's sh*t franchise to a 7-9 record, I told him how his championships to that point were all gimmicks and that it was his sh*t franchise that was the problem and I was the only one keeping the ship from fully sinking.
And he'd STILL give me the coordinating reins to this day....
It's not how bad you f*ck up...It's how well you place the blame on everyone else when it happens...
