That's exactly the point. We don't know. There are lots of things that AV is privy to that we have no clue about. Injuries, practice performance, video work, personal/family issues, locker room issues. We don't see a 10th of what AV sees.
That's not to say that AV is right and everyone else is wrong, but given the success we have had since he has been here, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Ultimately there is little use in arguing over each decision that he makes. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding. Results are what matter. As long as the results are in line with expectations, AV will have a job here. This year the results fell short of expectations, but he's earned a mulligan I think. If that trend continues, then yes, we'll need to think about going in a different direction.
