A coach is paid multiple millions of $$$$, then expectations rise.

If the HC were make a paltry 500K a year, not nearly as much pressure. If Beamer had been making a million a year, he would have been gonzo long before he was almost fired in 1992.

Same goes for ticket buyers now. With the constant demand for more money, with the high seat premiums for simple aluminum benches, people who are already sullen, in outlook, turn rebellious when the team performs like it did last year.

Neither Whit, Fuente, or Foster can afford a repeat of 2018.
