[QUOTE="jojatk, post: 849168, member: 2627"] Most organizations have at least a few people who are good at exactly that sort of thing. The fact of the matter is that no matter what he said he was going to get a fair amount of negative reaction. But with a little effort they could have minimized it. [LIST] [*]When you haven’t produced clearly visible positive results and the latest results are horrifically bad then own it. Don’t try to mitigate the terrible as if it wasn’t important [*]Don’t treat the fans like they don’t hurt with the team. We may not have as much blood, sweat, and tears invested in what happens on the field but we care deeply and if you marginalize that pain as if it’s not important then shame on you. [*]If you aren’t smart enough to know that what the coach is saying is pissing off the fans and you parrot back some of it then, again, shame on you. [/LIST] None of this is rocket science. I got an Aerospace Engineering degree from GT so I’m qualified to know what IS rocket science and this ain’t it (that’s a joke people, it doesn’t take a GT degree to figure this stuff out). It isn’t easy but it’s also not super hard if you put some real, honest to goodness thought behind it and run it by people who you should have on your staff who are good at this. Seriously, though, how the hell did someone not look at that letter and say “hey boss, that sounds an awful lot like the stuff that Coach Collins says in his press conferences that we know the fans don’t like.” [/QUOTE]
