AC3,
Many of you watched the game last night. Brutal, I know. Both teams’ kickers could have won it, and
missed chip-shot field goals. If you’re
sports-nerdy enough, you not only watched the agony unfold, you also watched
the post-game press conferences. Something struck me about how the two
coaches handled their two kickers - what an interesting contrast.
Then this morning this article picked up on it:
Coach Arians, Coach Carroll
Leaders, when our people fail (and they will) there’s a million ways we can throw them under the bus. Not reassigning them, without telling them why. Silent treatment. Gruff verbal response. Even trying to ignore a big mistake can be a way of diminishing them. But coach Pete showed me again what it’s like to have someone’s back when they fall. The game was a disappointing tie – picking up someone you lead when they’re at their lowest? Total win!
