No. Nellie has been put into a position in which most of us think he will fail. Nellie has been placed in a position from which there are no excuses if he does fail. There is a difference.
Of course, it is important to define failure at this juncture. I define failure for Nellie thusly:
1) 6th-8th in the West midway through the season;
2) little to no defensive improvement; and
3) Nellie acting like Nellie.
--a) Nellie badmouthing players;
--b) bizaare player combinations and misuse of players;
--c) inability to effectively run plays on final possessions;
--d) overplaying players;
--e) lack of established rotation.
BTW, I fully expect all of this.

exactly. He is put in a position to fail when u include "Nellie acting like Nellie" and the go on to describe his typical behavior, so i think we are in agreement. Just sematics.
