[QUOTE="GT33, post: 883873, member: 5550"] It could be you're too youthful to grasp the complexity of what it takes to make a large organization successful, but it comes down to basics like blocking & tackling. Practice, hard work, planning, being organized. You spend your time perfecting dance routines, taking muscle flexing pictures, planning out stuff like pumping iron before the game on the sidelines, running disorganized chaotic practices, etc and you're so far away from focusing on the basics it's not even funny. You get what we got. What if instead all that nonsense never happened & the OL spent 200 extra reps perfecting their footwork and hand work so they didn't whiff on blocks repetitively or the DBs spent an extra 30 mins a day in the film room diagnosing failures so they knew who was supposed to cover the WRs running right past them or we worked on how to get plays from the booth to the field in a timely manner so the team knew what play we were runig or what defense they were supposed to be in. You know, the crap us old farts care about. The things that put you into position to win games. Every coach has to balance priorities. Ours thought if he could cheer his way to wins, that would be a successful path. I'm not sure that's worked anywhere, ever. I can speak for myself, if your team loses because the talent gap is too wide or you had a critical mistake once in a while that caused us to implode, I'm not happy but we gave it all we got. We would have played a solid game & had a chance. Next week will probably be better. I can accept that. What I can't accept is goofing around, acting like morons on the field while we're getting our butts kicked due to missed assignments. Games we could have had a chance to win or should have won, we really had no shot. That's a 100% leadership issue and only 1 man owns that. For me he's out of chances. He either starts running a football team or I'll vote with my feet until someone does what they should have done already. [/QUOTE]
