Warren Sapp says Miami wanted ‘20 hours per day’ for same role with Deion Sanders

Can we officially close the door on “Deion is a good coach”? I mean I guess it’s possible he has a miraculous turnaround next year but he just went 3-9 and 1-8 on the Big XII. He hasn’t recruited particularly well and the transfer portal hasn’t been kind. Two 3 win seasons out of three total seasons isn’t what I’d call a huge success
 
I’m still shocked Colorado is letting him still get away with the “I don’t visit recruits, they need to come visit me” nonsense. What kind of crap is that? How does he plan to acquire high level talent with that philosophy? Smh.

This is why I get shook with the former player to coach thing. They millionaires already with and ego and pride. Someone asking you to work crazy hours to kiss kids ***’s on the trail. Because idc who you are the recruits hold the power in that scenario. Kids don’t care if you were a legend because they think they are the legend. You need hard workers on the trail as well as teachers. It worked out with JT but I’m sure Mario makes all his staffers work crazy hours. And if he hires you that means you are willing to work those crazy hours, and if you slack you will be replaced. Tougher to replace a former legend, makes your job harder cause the backlash of letting go of a cane legend. Lose lose situation imo

Your assessment is spot on, but it also comes down to the individual legend or not. Most, if not all college and Pro athletes understand the grind to achieve and succeed. But some have to work harder and longer to get there. Most often it’s the individuals desire and work ethic plus their talent that leads to success. When I observe and train students it’s the ones with the work ethic that we earmark for future employment. You can teach anyone how to do something, but you can’t teach work ability or ethic. IMO, that trait is universal, whether it’s athletics, working at Home Depot or coaching. Grinders gonna grind, Slackers gonna slack off. It always comes out in the wash.🙌🏽

I was hoping he'd do just good enough for FSU to make the critical mistake of hiring him.

Basically 20 hours a day ain’t bad , you’re basically selling the U anyone in that position really works 24-7 .
You never turn your phone off , in every other position like that your never off .

I’ll never forget being a commission salesman and I ask for my vacation.
Boss said just think of the sales you’ll be losing to your competitors.
Sure you can take a vacation but you better work your tail off at same time .

Christmas Eve my phone went off 9:30 pm , I ignored it 5 minutes later our owner called me up , WERE NEVER CLOSED call him back
 
Sapp is an udisputed legend. But ask anyone who knew him who was around campus during those years what he was like off the filed. I'd be shocked if he was ever actually offered a position.

There are people who will inherit significant- occasionally vast- wealth through divorce, death, or gift.

Those people are a very small percentage of the population.

There are a few, truly rare cases where a great idea will work out spectacularly well when marketed.

For the overwhelming percentage of people who become successful, it will be due to neither heritability nor inspiration, but rather perspiration.

Consistent hard work matters. A ton.
