Firstly, this is not a dig at Bennett. But similarly, he cannot be exempt from critique, just like everyone else at the Broncos.
The culture can't be too bad, he is 55-30 since his return. He took over a side that had been a laughing stock for a better part of six years and instantly made them contenders for three straight seasons. Even this year where they have been playing some of their worst footy in many moons but are still sitting at .500 in 8th spot and two of the wins have come against sides in which it is their sole loss. Most teams would kill to have a 3+ season record such as this but yet some of it's fans choose to focus on Bennett's successor. I dread the days after Bennett's retirement because it won't be anywhere near as fruitful as what we are enjoying.
I don’t think you really understood my point, as you’ve gone off on a bit of a tangent - but each to their own.
It takes five years to recover from six years of mismanagement and the Broncos almost achieved that in one single season. They have exceeded expectations and more, we may demand success but every team are under the same salary cap restrictions and key injuries can often derail those plans like they did last year. The era of winning every other season are long gone and never to return as it is simply too difficult to sustain in the modern game. The current squad is a decent one and there is a wealth of young talent who will figure in the years to come which puts the club in great shape. White + co. may have had brief thoughts on a successor but it would be the least of their worries and they will let Wayne call the shots for as long as he wants and that may be for another 5+ years yet, I hope he is around till he's 90.
