Netflix Streaming Recommendations/TV Talk

I don’t know if I’d go that far but it’s definitely a demonstration of what happens when you hire a conman built around strictly recruiting to run your program.

 

Better than a Billy Mays pitchman

 

Same thing just different ends of the spectrum as their starting point growing up.

 

I don't see him as conning anyone. he's exactly who he says he is. also, the playbook being stolen and shared adds a bit of explanation for why the offense was suddenly totally ineffective

 

It was ineffective due to the poor team culture and practice organization.

He’s a very good recruiter but did a really poor job running the team.

The playbook stuff is just an excuse. Your opponents have all the video to make your playbook without needing it with hudl with the ability to run all of you tendencies and scouting reports.

You win with players, organization and execution.

 

he won his conference with only players the year before

 

I agree with that but that's not a model built for long term success.

Indy was built on being last chance U.

I thought Buddy and EMCC was more real. Buddy has a lot of faults but I don't he was playing it up for the documentary like Coach Brown did.

 

nothing about coach jb is long term! but I know who ICC is now.

 

but it's funny, I see it the other way with buddy. he's so fake, he doesn't even know himself. imo. who knows. it could all be in the editing.

 

Buddy could coach and bring in talent before the show. His struggle was how that came across on tv and his family getting a view of that side and his battle with it.

Brown was a recruiter that had it cave in on him once the staff turned on him. He did have better player leadership on his first season that was probably the difference in being good and total dumpster fire.

The crazy part is brown posted job openings Indy had for coaches that wanted to be TV stars instead of just getting the best coach he could get.

 

his ego is obviously his biggest hindrance. certainly a narcissist. but that is also a source of strength.

were I the president of a junior college with a cratered program, I'd give him a 3 year deal. he will pull it out of the mud.

 

Not to be contrarian, but this has been Tennessee’s model in making three consecutive hires, and it’s worked out great for us.

 

That's the path to signing the back of the check instead of the front of the check.

 

Have y’all seen the lawyer stuff with Brown?

 

A little. Not sure what to make of it.

 

Definitely prefer Buddy.

 

I’ve only watched the first episode of the most recent season. I don’t like the guy he might be an extreme example, but a coach doesn’t have to be a good or great man to make players better men. Same with Dads or teachers or most things.

 

WU Warriors

 

Finished The Boys last night on Amazon. I don't get the hype, thought it was pretty meh.

 

Office episode where Michael realizes he is on a happy hour date and blows it is on right now.
He was a genius at making the viewer uncomfortable or say "oh no"
