What are the Top 5 Reasons You Can't Blame the Management Team for the situation that we are in?

The Management Team is only as good as the culture that it developed in. As a friend recently described it, "too many home-grown tomatoes".

Keep in mind that most of the outsiders (non-academics) brought in by this MT are already gone and that doesn't seem to have led to a decrease in bad management.

I don't agree with your premise that the "Management Team" should be held blameless. That doesn't mean you aren't asking illigitimate or irrelevant questions in this newest game.
