Get the The Dr Helga Effect mug.When a struggling sports team fires their coach, and a new coach comes in and the team initially does really well.
Everyone is all smiles, the new coach tries new things, is fun and upbeat, and seemingly *changes the culture* so the team performs really well.....until they don't.
The few good games are due to excitement, and once the substitute teacher has to be a real teacher, fails spectacularly because he actually has to teach.

Boris: Oh fuck, you see how the new coach has turned this team around. I told you the old guy sucked.

3 months later.....
Edgar: Team sucks, and coach looks really constipated.
Boris: Ya, you were right. Substitute Teacher Effect wins again.
