I really thought this year was going to be ours.
Now we're losing Kemp, Boyd, Eastwood, Carroll, Ennis and Hannant.
Someone said it earlier, it's the end of an era with WB's departure.
Rebuilding begins now.
I think all the Bennett bashers who have been here for years will be wishing he was back a couple of years from now. That's because the effects on the team while he was here were more than just his coaching of players to play better - they were also due to his man-management, his concern for each individual as a person not just a player, and, I think most crucially, the way his presence attracted players to the club and kept them there when they could have got more moolah elsewhere. That will be gone from next season (he's already taking a couple with him) and that just might make us struggle for a while, more than anything else. These are the sorts of things we don't see day to day and are easy to take for granted until you notice that they are gone with the great man.
Make no mistake, Bennett will be missed. We have been incredibly blessed to have him as Broncos coach for 21 years.
