It is on the coaches to get the players to execute in a system. Period. So if you want to blame the players, that is the coaches' fault...they select the players. If you want to blame the scheme, that is also the coaches' fault. Either way you cut it, in Year 4 if this team is pulling this **** week after week it is the coaches' fault.
Look, here's the thing. In any business, it is on management to figure out how to make **** work. My boss hired me. That means he saw something in me that makes him think that I can be an asset to what he is trying to accomplish. That means that if he spends 6 months managing me a certain way, and I don't respond to it, he has one of two options: fire me (waste of time, money and also difficult to do...plus it leads to constant turnover) OR tweak his management style to get me to produce.
It's the same ******* thing with football players and coaches. It takes a BRILLIANT person to have constant turnover and still produce. Therefore the best managers, by and large, are the ones who figure out what an employee/player can do well and then putting them in a position to do it.
Golden ain't brilliant, but he also constantly refuses to change his methods. Know where that leaves you? In ******* no-man's land. In my line of work, people who pull that **** end up fired or stalled on the ladder, and the latter brings their team down with them.
As for these quotes: these kids are just sticking up for their coaches they've had for 4 years. I respect that. But it doesn't mean ****, except that they might have a soft spot for D'Onofrio, at least in public.
