because of Bronco.
Truth is, the staff that was dealt Bronco was largely not his choosing. And there was bad blood between Anae & some of the staff from the start. I'm not gonna get into the politics in part cuz in the early days I tended to side w/ those against Anae. And I still admire & respect some of those who were a thorn in his side.
But time proved who really knew what they were doing. If more had gotten fully behind Anae from the start I think a few of our solid seasons coulda been really special.
mutu.
