Relative intelligence

I have a story.

I am a professor who teaches education leadership in graduate school.  The Huddle is my place to speak my mind, instead of acting professional all the time.  You guys are my therapy--where I go to be an ass if I feel like using a fake name.  I am not a domino, by the way.  That is a disguise.   Here is what I tell future school principals--

There are three phases to development as a leader.  First, there is the knowing.  Second, there is the doing.  Finally, there is the becoming.  You must know the content.  You must do things that are related to the content.  and finally, you must go somewhere with the first two.  So knowing and doing are not enough.

 

You're not a domino?

I am, but not the one with a six and a two.

You want to keep 'em for another year?

I already asked that question in another thread. You responded in it.

These people only watch the Panthers play. It's why they overvalue our players and then say stupid poo about injuries like the other teams have none.

I wonder how bad you'd blow his mind if you told him it's the GMs job to collect depth...like woahhhhh duuuuuuddddeeee

Have you guys thought of it this way?: 

2 failed game winning attempts  on the goal line and a rogue kicker---we could be 8-3 with some luck and tied for first place in the South.

It's actually a pretty good story.

To put it another way, there are people who do dance steps and there are dancers. Pretty much anybody can follow a set of choreographed steps, but only a real dancer feels the music, turns it into movement and makes it look easy.

Our guys still look like they're following the outlined footprints on the floor.

And if we seriously want to be Championship contenders and not guys who are just kind of there, we're going to need to get people in leadership who are capable of matching up against opposing braintrusts far better than our current group does right now.

Who is your top choice to fill the GM position?

And the new Head Ball Coach should be?

I remember a similar thing on MASH once.

Winchester was trying to help a pianist with an injured hand. Talked about how he could perform surgery but couldn't perform on the piano because he didn't have "the gift". I think his exact quote was "I can play the notes, but I cannot make the music."

I feel like we've got beginning piano students going up against accomplished masters.

Nah. They're smart. Just not smart enough.

People like to say that Rivera will get another job 5 minutes after he's fired. Probably true, but not a reason to retain him.

Hurney? Nobody pursued him before for even so much as a scout or a consultant job. That probably doesn't change this time around if he's let go.

And no one had a problem cherry picking the actual talent we did have in the Building with McDermott and Brandon Bene. Who have put together a very good football team.

For people saying if our kicker didn't screw up, we would've come out a win... While that is true, it's only part of the truth. Relying on the kicker is something Rivera has done his whole time here and something that we shouldn't be having to do. If HIS defense didn't keep getting flattened, we wouldn't be in that position. If HIS offensive coordinator didn't keep shitting the bed every time we got in the red zone, we wouldn't be in that position. So trying to do brain gymnastics in order to defend Rivera is a little naive. 

[Mr. Scot]

I don't excuse the missed field goal.

But good grief, seven chances to get into the end zone from within the five yard line, and we keep running the same things that have already failed over and over again?

I wanna hear somebody try to blame that on analytics!

It is a hard thing to discuss. Yeah we needed those 5 points, but we need more in a team sport than the play of a kicker.
