CodeMonkey Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Today's players who grew up with the constant stimulation of video games, ipods and iphones have a hard time staying interested for a three month stretch if they alone are the ones responsible to stay motivated. If players on your team cannot keep themselves "interested" as professionals for a 6 month stretch it's time to get some new hungry players.

So true. I'm similar age to many players, grew up on video games. Yet I go out and play basketball multiple times a week and have plenty of drive to compete 100% for every game. I don't think the excuse of video games, etc flies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibs Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 The thing I don't like about Lovie is that he seems like a quiet, non-verbal leader. That's fine if you're name is Bill Belichick, but he's the exception IMO. After Jauron and Gailey, I want a dynamic change of approach. I want Kelly or Horton. Someone energetic. Why have Harbaugh and Carroll had so much success so quickly? A big part of it is that charged up their players and franchises with their energy. Today's players who grew up with the constant stimulation of video games, ipods and iphones have a hard time staying interested for a three month stretch if they alone are the ones responsible to stay motivated. I'd really like Smith as my DC, but I just don't like him as a head coach in the modern NFL world. Modern day elite professional athletes have to devote an immense amount of time and dedication to become and maintain elite ability/status. You really think it makes that much difference if they have their main coach on game day showing or not showing overt emotional reactions? I personally don't care what the style of coaching my HC has as long as he wins games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
