For the umpteenth time. Sun Management (Etess, Sienko et al) handed Donovan a $hi+ sandwich. I have no love for her as a coach but she was not responsible for driving this team into the ground. It was the GM. She did not fire the beloved Coach T, and she came into a situation where veteran players felt betrayed and had been alienated by management. Worse, they outwardly behaved and played that way. Did she handle the mess perfectly? Probably not, but she was clearly chucked into a huge steaming pile. Even now when the locker room is in much better shape mentally, injuries continue to be a problem. Top two scorers out for medical reasons, one forever. Best perimeter defender and starting guard chronically injured and now out indefinitely after an overseas injury and surgery. This was not Donovan's doing.
I honestly don't care if they let AD go after this year but they better do it right this time, and they better have a serious plan for a quality successor to replace her. Someone who the players and fans would see as an upgrade would also help. As a season ticket holder who has witnessed every turn in this ordeal at close range, it offends me when the haters, history changers and marginal observers who don't even seem to know the names of key figures spew their nonsense over and over again. No matter how many times you say it, its still nonsense.
There's no point in responding further on this subject so have a blast.
