This is nothing against you or your comment, but forgive me if I don't take reassurance from an article published on the league's own website...hahaha.

I don't want Neville to fail. I want desperately to be wrong about his ability to coach at a high level. I just...don't see a ton of evidence that I am.

Good point. The article was timed to create talking points and blunt criticism leading up to today's news conference. I noticed that Neville didn't address or wasn't asked anything about his lackluster results at Miami. As a friend noted last night, the article is largely a "crisis comms" exercise guided by PR professionals. But it's helpful to hear from Neville and Grabavoy, who face intense scrutiny going forward.

As for the invisible CEO, I know she's not an apparition — I spoke with her after the Timbers preseason fan forum. But she's either muzzled or as another poster suggested hyper-focused on driving revenue.
