Getting beat 1-0 in the final against St Johnstone is hardly a humiliation. They won another cup and put out der der Hun on the way to the final. Cup games are a momentary snap shot of form on any one particular day, the only true measure of how good or bad a team is, is their league position at the end of the season. Hibs have proven themselves to be the 3rd best team in Scotland this year, how anyone can see that as anything other than a success goes beyond my imagination and firing a manager for not winning a cup is ludicrous, if that was the deciding factor of whether a Hibs manager keeps his job or not, then we'd have had well over a hundred managers since 1902.
The way we applied (or didn’t apply) ourselves in a national final is the humiliating part, not the result.
