Spent the last 2 days with someone well connected to local media.

A binner, but good company. Manning had zero input into new players. Chemistry between players and coaching team was challenging resulting in players becoming very disaffected and failing to follow game plans. Apparently. Having said that, I saw little evidence of game plans.
