I wouldn’t care about this stuff if it was that long ago. That’s the problem with society today. You mess up one time and you’re permanently ****ed.
People change. They grow. They get better. And goddamn man I think that makes EB a better coach. Players love guys who have played the game. They also love guys who don’t play games with them and have experience ****ing up.
Players will listen to a guy who has actually been there before and ****ed up themselves more than some poster boy from the league at their rookie symposium.
And yeah maybe EB isn’t a great interviewer. So what? Who gives a ****? I want a goddamn football coach.
5 years ago I got to be a part of an interview process hiring for a guy in our department. We loved the guy bc he was so well spoken and interviewed well. Guess what? We fired his ass 3 months into the job bc he was lazy and talked his way out of shit constantly. Management went a different direction and hired someone to replace him with work experience but not necessarily the best interviewing experience.
The new guy we hired is one of the best members of the team.
