[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 859367, member: 2957"] We heard, weekly, in Geoff's press conferences ... "We did not execute well in the game. Our goal is to play to an ELITE level and we will be doing a top to bottom review of EVERY aspect of our program on Monday and we know what needs to be fixed and we will fix it." THEN ... we found out that Geoff did not have a weekly top to bottom review. (Top to bottom review to me is a review of performance to plan by department with each manager reporting out his performance and his plan to return to plan by X date.) He admitted that he OUTSOURCED this to a survey company who determined that changing the soda in the locker room would be a good idea. I do not believe it is Geoff's style to aggressively manage performance and I believe that is what is necessary. If you visit the football museum at Alabama, there is a huge set of metric boards reporting Weekly Goal, Performance to Date, and Actual by Week (Game) with who is responsible (player, coach). Coach Gene Stallings credited the laser focus on delivering on those numbers as key to both his management style and Alabama's winning the 1992 Natty. Where did he learn this from? His mentor, Tom Landry, head coach for the Dallas Cowboys. (Tom was an [B]engineer[/B] by training and brought a process mindset to coaching football.) Who learned from Stallings? Dabo Swinney. It continues to amaze me that Georgia Tech leads the world in engineering but can't, for whatever reason, apply this thinking to our athletic teams. But then again, ADTS isn't an engineer and may not have a clue as to how apply technical thinking to solving problems either. [/QUOTE]
