I agree RamQ was persuaded into running, and he might not have run without persuasion. But RamQ has run for NT coach before (without any persuading), so it's not like he had no interest in it himself. I think your jump from him being persuaded to run (he did agree to it) to the disappointing results is a huge stretch. And to not vote for someone on that basis is silly.
We agree at the time that he was the best candidate. Why should we have settled for a lesser candidate if we can get a better one? The reason he was persuaded to run, despite others willing to do everything they could for the NT, is because he was better! Saying that you're willing to do everything doesn't qualify someone as a better candidate. This is such a weird criticism. "We should have settled for a worse candidate because they said they were willing to do everything for the NT."
I was persuaded to run. I didn't want to do it originally, but no one else who was involved was really stepping up to the plate. Being persuaded has nothing to do with it.
In this thread you've blamed the people who persuaded RamQ, the voters, the election process, the offsite, and "well known managers." Stop it. None of these criticisms have any merit.
