>>"The best compliment I can give Randy is he's a professional," athletic director David Benedict said Friday during halftime. "He's an experienced head coach, 17 years of head-coaching experience, and he's bringing all that to bear as he's putting together this program. As Randy said before, getting this program back to where it used to be is a process, and Randy is all about that process.

"I think he's got a great group of assistant coaches, and he's letting them coach. The difference between how Randy is managing the program versus how it was being managed previously, it's different. You can do it both ways and be successful, but Randy is that true CEO head coach and he allows his coordinators to direct their sides of the ball and he is really focused on specific things."<<

What an incredible quote. Crazy that Randy now has 17 years experience at HC and now has true NFL experience/connections. Love what was said re: Randy running things like a true executive. Delegating accordingly and letting his officers take care of their jobs. No micromanaging.

That's someone who's comfortable in their own skin and not paranoid.

P was a non-micromanager as well. Just saying . . .

I actually think it's a mistake to say that Edsall isn't a micromanager. He is. So are about 95% of successful college football coaches.

He had NFL experience the first time. He was on Coughlin's staff in Jacksonville.

I think successful managers know when and where to micro manage. Sometimes it is necessary other times not. If you do it all the time you get overwhelmed.

One needs to recognize the difference between variance in execution that leads to the same desired result vs variance in execution that leads to differing and undesired results.

In football terms, the difference between knowing that a ball control run oriented offense is your best chance to win vs calling your 2nd fake FG in a game or forfeiting kick returns as a necessary part of winning football.

Blah, Blah, Blah, ..Blah....Blah we haven't seen any of these O-linemen block anyone other than a defensive teammate that was told "Don't hurt anyone!". No one can judge how Edsall is doing until he does it to other conference teams. From what I've seen so far, to be honest, not enough fight in the dog.

So which is it? Can a judgement be made ("...not enough fight in the dog.") or not ("No one can judge how Edsall is doing until...")?
