His logic is broken. This is where his spin approach ends. Because, privately, you have kids complaining to... friends of the program. It's toxic. Unfortunately, even though this **** was going on last year, it wasn't obvious enough for everyone and didn't have the momentum. So, we've had to endure this season.
Someone just end this cycle. Please.
Which is good because it means that they are
this close to quitting on him. That's usually the final straw that seals the fate of a coach.
And when they do quit, I'm going to use every single breath in my body to defend those kids from the ******** that are going to try to bash them for doing so instead of rightfully putting all of the blame on the overpaid sorry *** coaches that let the kids down.
That's where I've been for a year now. Reading my PMs and negs telling me I always "let the player off the hook to blame the coach." I am inclined that way because, if the player is talented, a hard worker and isn't in an optimal position or isn't buying into the general direction, I'm going to blame the dude making 6 or 7 figures.
What I don't understand is the disconnect between player and coach. This isn't a school project or a degree thesis for Coach Golden. If your target audience (the players) aren't buying into some of the metaphors you're tossing at them or the motivational ploys, it DOESN'T ****ING MATTER IF IT MAKES SENSE IN YOUR HEAD OR IN SOME SCIENTIFIC THEORY OR EVEN IN THE NFL. Apply practical tactics to your audience. All you have to do is ask them.
