Interesting Comment By Moorhead Today

[ShotgunDawg]

Listened to Joe's press conference today and a quote stood out to me.

"People that know me know that I'm a people pleaser"

Joe Moorhead is a good man, but great coaches, CEOs, Generals, Mafia bosses, entrepreneurs, principals, presidents, GMs, etc are not people pleasers. They are typically disagreeable and demand respect through their intellect and judgement no matter what the crowd may think.

In the end, Joe has a substitute teacher persona. He's the sub that you loved in middle school, but your ability to be educated would go to hell if that sub was ever the full time teacher.

Joe reminds me of Wade Phillips tenure with the Cowboys when he took over for Parcells. Wade is an excellent DC, but is a people pleaser and good cop.

All great coaching staffs have a good cop/bad cop structure with the head guy's job being to rip a player's ass and the assistant's to hug him and explain what the head guy meant.

Again, Joe is a good man but he's middle management.

Joe problem now is that the player's would completely lose respect for him and sense out fraudulence if he instantly changed to a bad cop personality. He's going to have figure out how to make this good cop thing work.
