Ah, how easily we forget.  Just last year, Tom Johnson, the then Chef 
d'Equipe for our Endurance Team USA, an extremely knowledgeable 
individual with great rapport amongst the riders, was summarily 
dismissed with no reason given.  And I do mean WITH NO REASON GIVEN. 
This was just weeks prior to the World Games.  An idiot would know that 
canning the "road manager" just before the most important gig of the 
season is, ah, dumb?  But that is what happened.  No reason.  No 
explanation.  Just, Here's your hat.  Leave.  Don't come back.

So that is why I said, "False advertising.  It'll probably be a lot 
shorter".  That is, a lot shorter than "2008-2010".  The way it looks 
from down here in the trenches is that if the dude they hire don't toe 
their line, they'll can his/her ass right quick.
