    While Cronin seemed about as excited as a guy about to have root canal, I still prefer him to Olshey.

    This felt like he just wanted to say some words and get out the door.

    I think Dame is gone. How could Dame possibly have any faith in this dude?

    Ehhhh that's not true. I don't think we made the playoffs until Dame's.... third year?

    Who are we getting for the MLE? Short of Bruce Brown for the full MLE I wouldn't be excited for anyone.

    The fact that he didn't talk to Dame tonight is something to me. I mean it tells me that Dame isn't OK with this. I don't know if that means that he will demand a trade when he next talks to Joe but it wouldn't be too surprising if he did.

    Dude. Dame is in Paris. Different time zone. I'm sure they will talk in the ensuing days.

    Olshey needed to go, but Cronin is no upgrade.

    Another good name, but he’s more offense than defense.

    I have this sinking feeling he doesn't have the faintest idea what he is doing.

    The thing is.... Joe seems to be rebuilding without telling anyone.

    He's saying one thing... while doing something completely different. None of his moves make ANY sense if he was actually trying to build around Dame.
