This is the first reply to this I have read, so if I spout off too soon, oh well.  " I think it's too early to say", I think the lack of leadership, discipline, drive, etc etc exemplified over the last 2 years at different occasions speaks volumes.......

I also believe that the results of what they each do have had "different than we are used to" results, that's all.
