IanThat's all you took out of that? He emphasized focusing on the development of players, which has obviously been an issue here we've all complained about in various circumstances. Same thing with the lack of continuity within the coaching staff and creating/developing more qualified people around him. That and he talked about the fact he didn't want an echo chamber and essentially doesn't want "yes" men - something other people also talked about with Bill. Again, among other things.
When I say I am not going to get into each item, but…. Then mention one, that surely is not “all I took from it” it’s what I took from one of the comments.
I then said, we disagree and I don’t think it’s worth getting into. I think the were platitudes without substance (everyone wants to develop players, being a gardener does nothing for me)
As far as the echo chamber part, once you brought it up again, I will respond.
I have never found a leader who lacks conviction and is sways by people who report to him regularly to be effective. Belichick has a long history of going outside the organization for input (jimmy Johnson, urban Meyer, saban, etc). So the extent of “echo chamber” is wrong, but in my opinion if I hire a HC I want someone with clear vision and a solid plan, not someone who runs a democracy and let’s underlines set the structure. Why do I need a HC if he isn’t setting the tone?
