If you want to point fingers, it's squarely on ownership. They have meddled and crushed any ability for the management level to make proper decisions. 
Willie had his issues but I don't think the best coaching on the planet could have gotten this team to the playoffs. The twins should have been traded years ago when they were worth something.
Now all they do is stand still looking for someone to pass to while sucking up cap space.
There are big name coaches on the market right now. It would be interesting to see if they would touch Vancouver with the current environment. 
Fist step is get new ownership that stays out of the kitchen. Second step is to get a Veteran coach. Third step is to somehow get the Twins to move on. I respect the Twins and recognize their contributions to the community, but age has caught up with them.
