Yeah, one of these days I'll remember that filter.
Probably not anytime soon...

Hey, I didn't even know the filter existed until a week ago or whatever. Couldn't figure out what was going on for a minute. Just chuckling that someone else tripped over that one.

But yeah, if you take Patriots Way bullshit and then put it in the hands of some half-cocked psychopath like Todd Haley....well we saw how it worked out. I do think that sort of approach - hyperaccountability and details over everything - can work. But man, you've gotta build it from the ground up to avoid these sorts of culture shocks. And you're walking a really really thin line. Because Carr's reaction is 100% predictable and it won't be just him that responds that way. At some point I think you need some way to salvage that kind of situation.

The biggest part of coaching is figuring out who's who and when to push the throttle, or pull the reigns back a bit. |

I mean, my position is typically "Yeah - I hold people to different standards because...duh, why wouldn't you?" But you WILL lose guys doing it that way as well.

There's a difference of holding everyone accountable vs coaching them differently though. I think atleast.

Just adding my two cents, but it's all in the presentation.
I remember reading an interview with Montana, where he was explaining his relationship with Bill Walsh. He said that during film review, Walsh would criticize Joe when necessary but wouldn't really tear into him in front of the team. He'd do it in his office behind closed doors. Joe said some of those office sessions were the worst experiences of his career (but always accurate), but that he appreciated that Walsh never ripped him a new one in front of the team. When I managed sales offices I took the same tack; I never ripped people in public. Criticisms, sure, but if I felt someone needed a kick in the pants, that happened in private.

Al Davis is credited with the "Commitment To Excellence" that is on walls all over Raider HQ and locker rooms. As a fan who has watched nearly every snap in every Raider game for decades, that slogan has meant nothing for nearly 20 years or so.
The article posted above makes total sense in why Carr needs to move on. He was comfortably coddled in a rah rah environment where "lets do our best and just have fun" was good enough. When the Mc Z team came in, they are all business about doing what it takes to win and that made some uncomfortable. If it hurts some egos and feelings, so be it. It is seemingly obvious most of the team leaders like Maxx, Adams, Jacobs and others have bought into the new regime. Time will tell but as a long time fan, it is refreshing that the expectations of excellence are back and there will be no more players on scholarships. I'm more excited with our GM Ziegler and his drive than I am about McD. Hes a very sharp dude.....I think. Lets see what happens. One thing that is certain, the Raider way of doing things the last 20 years hasn't worked.

But I will tell you, don’t buy in too much. You’re on it. Ziegler matters more than McD. Especially right now. I’m guessing McDouche can scheme. If Ziegler can’t get Dudes that can play in, the message gets stale quick. The saying goes it's not about the X's and O's its about the Jimmies and Joes. Its kind of right, scheme matters not if personnel is shit. but it does matter. And it’s a problem. Nick Caserio is on record saying he had to go talk to Kraft about trades Belicheat would do without consulting ANYONE in personnel. Obviously Franchise Killer Pioli didn’t know ****all about personnel. And the detail stuff might be fine for Belicheat who has shit locked down, but it typically isn’t for teams that blow ass. Essentially mental capacity is limited and using it on dumb shit (like gum wrappers and interrogating staff about leaks - like Pioli) leads to missing the boat on big shit (like oh hey, maybe we should figure out if Casshole can play). Ultimately you work on the big shit first and once you’re competent then you can dial in on the little shit. Maybe McDouche has figured that out. But reading between the lines, it sounds like Cheatriot shit. Pioli sent some goon looking mother****ers to games to make sure everybody was compliant on the sidelines. Nevermind the tire fire on the field. Clark also had to settle some legitimate employee lawsuits because Pioi was a Nazi. Maybe he’s figured it out maybe he hasn’t. All I can say is good luck. I’m a never a Brother****ing Cheatriot ****bag kind of guy, but maybe it will be different this time. Last edited by Buehler445; 01-16-2023 at 09:14 PM.. |
