The kind of players that succeed at a high level in football

I'll give you a freebee here:

The kind of people & players that succeed?

I once asked an ex General manager: "you hired a bunch of people in your career, with a broad paint brush, can you tell me the difference between your best hires & worst hires?"

GM: "That's a tough question"........"Authentic. The best people I ever hired were genuine & authentic."

Wrap that in a bow & place it under the tree folks. Hire people & sign players that are authentic. Doesn't necessarily matter if their good or bad, but just that you know exactly where they stand & who they. Hire & sign those folks, & you'll likely be successful.

As it pertains to Jones, lied to coaches, teammates, beat writers, etc. Not authentic. Pretended to be someone that he wasn't. You can't win with that human or that player.

Jones telling our players that he was going to Oregon was something that stood out to me. He wasn't even man enough to tell our players the truth.
