[QUOTE="Jerry the Jacket, post: 468687, member: 65"] A lot of good observations made in responses to my post here. I heard the Braves manager Snitker (sp?) say his team had it. He said it happens every once in a while in baseball and he has been fortunate to be involved with some teams over his long career that had it but it doesn't come along very often. I think he was talking about a chemistry that allowed them to find a way to play beyond their talent and experience and find a way to win more often than lose. I see it as a similar thing in football but of course you have a much condensed schedule to develop it, i. e. playing 12 or so games vs. 165 or so games. I have heard Coach Johnson say that every team is different and you never know what you got until you actually get out there and play some games. For sure having great players and great coaches would improve your odds of developing the ability to close but it seems to me that some coaches are more capable of bringing this trait out in their teams and programs. Those guys become the legends. It also appears to me that usually there are a handful of guys/leaders on a team that bring that trait out in their teammates. They lead by example but they also demand the best out of their teammates and hold them to a high standard. I've seen some Tech teams that have had the trait but for whatever reason we have not been able to sustain it. I think it is worth really devoting some time, energy, resources and effort into studying this issue and developing a strategy and process on how we can develop a culture of closing the deal. Perhaps our new AD could give this some thought and consideration. Go Jackets! [/QUOTE]
