Message: [QUOTE="Twolf, post: 2562914, member: 8437"] It’s hard to tell from your post whether you are truly serious, or if you are trolling. In any case you are entitled to your opinion, but your post is also the reason that people in the coaching business only truly care about the opinions of two groups: their players and their peers. These two groups are the only ones who actually know the quality of your work. The truest gauge of Geno’s methods are his ex players, who owe him nothing, and he no longer controls anything in their lives. The vast majority of this group speak highly of their experiences in the program. You speak of the long term health of the program- the present staff started from scratch in 1985. Just how long term are you speaking of? I would contend that a 33 year case study should suffice, and that if their methods threaten the well being of the program that would have been apparent by now. Your suggestions imply that as a coach you should give playing time, not earn it. If you ever want to lose the respect of your players who are truly committed just try that method and see how you get along. Just make yourself a list of successful coaches who “give” playing time and get back to us. Respectfully, maybe go down to your local mortuary tomorrow & inform them they are not embalming correctly, and you’d be glad to straighten them out. You are doing the same thing here, evidently you just don’t realize it. [/QUOTE]
