[QUOTE="John, post: 822107, member: 1"] As a head coach, in a press conference, who are you catering your message to? The press? The fans? Your players? Recruits? Your staff? Your boss/AD? Probably all of the above in some way and the head coach has to walk the tight rope between what he says out in public and what he says behind closed doors to his players/staff. So I never cared about the words said in press conferences; when the lights are on and the cameras are rolling, you tend to have a "script" in what you say which may not be 100% frank thoughts in your head and they'll always be filtered in one way or another. The way I see it, we're only really picking apart CGC's press conference now given the results on the field. Maybe CGC could have said something more quotable or poignant and perhaps that would give us fans some level of confidence that CGC "gets it" but if those words do not result in a W, do they matter? I don't really care what he says to me (the fan), I do wonder what he is saying to his players though. Well, not just what he is saying behind closed doors but why he may be saying them. Speaking of, there are many different leadership styles. As a leader of an organization and when the people you are leading are as young as these college kids are, CGC's style seems like one where he likes to project confidence presumably with the hope that by doing so he can instill confidence in his guys. If this is the case, I can't really nit-pick about that. For me personally, I listen to these press conferences for the moments where the coaches may unintentionally go off-script. It felt like Coach Johnson had the least amount of filter at these interviews which I know some of our fans didn't like. CPJ always seemed to have this air about him at these things as if he was thinking "why do I need to spend time explaining to this reporter who has never coached before about how I make coaching decisions?" I really enjoyed the nuggets when someone asked how he came to decide on either a play that worked or didn't work and CPJ would go into detail about his decision making instead of just replying back with "I thought it would work." So here's my quick take. That last 10 seconds of CGC's presser was the nugget. I think he's frustrated as anybody at the L but obviously he's not going to be giving up and there's clearly not much more he can say at these things that will make a difference one way or another. I do hope, for Georgia Tech's sake, that what he says to his guys behind closed doors can help them get ready for KSU. [/QUOTE]
