>>My job is to put the players in the best situation as possible, no question, so the first thing I have to look at is how I can do a better job doing that," Verducci said. "Then you look at the execution of a play and you have to say, 'Did the young men understand what we were trying to accomplish? Did we cover that situation thoroughly enough in practice?'
"And then, if we did, we have to look at well maybe we need to give somebody else a chance to do that. So there's a lot of that that goes into it. It's hard to give you one answer for all those plays because there are different variables in all of them. If you want to simplify it, I guess you could say everybody has to do their job a little bit better, but I think that's obviously an oversimplification."
Verducci knows it starts with him.
"There's always going to be things I can do better," he said. "I've coached for 30 years and I've learned something every day. That's the beauty of this job and every game, there's obviously carry over, but there's also different circumstances with different players that arise in every game. There's always something to be learned and if you take pride in yourself as a coach you're always looking at 'how can I get better, how can I say things a little better, how can I simplify things a little bit more, how can I motivate a guy more, how can I calm a guy down a little more in those situations?' So yes, there's always ways to get better."<<
