No but Oats has the awareness to identify this as the problem and presents it as one that he wasn’t able to fix. We just watched our 3rd season without identify, leadership, and consistency. Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t believe I’ve heard Whitesell speak about it this way. If Oats has that same problem 3 years in a row you better believe he’ll be on the hot seat.
and yes, of course I acknowledge there are may factors at play I just don’t think this year was isolate — instead it is part of a pattern.
