Bucky mentioned the QB not being allowed to check out of the calls this year. I think I remember Leach saying if it was a run, Will called it because all he ever signaled in were passes.

Probably told no more F Bombs on TV. His entire demeanor/attitude changed after that.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

I really believe that he lied to several offensive players, and that certainly didn?t endear himself to the offense.
I know the defensive players liked him a lot.

Suddenly perspective shifts and your vision becomes arrogance, your help becomes micromanaging, etc...
Also causes stress in your staff, they get frustrated that they are being held on a leash, and the players see that. In the end it really is sad, there is a reason he was standing alone in the later games. He created an island he couldn't get off of. And I really believe it wasn't due to any abject failure on his part other than failure to trust his staff to do their jobs. He was just so determined to make sure it worked that he put it all on himself.
Probably the most difficult jump from being great at your job to being the boss: Pivoting from getting the work done to empowering others to do the work, verifying that it does get done, and implementing structure that makes sure everyone improves at it. Trying to have hands in all of it never works, at least not in an organization of that size.
Extremely well put.

Bucky - I'd like to hear your slant, personally. We already read the slant he liked.
