I think like in politics, some people want someone who “projects” a certain image. Don’t matter if it’s just clever PR. And it ain’t the real deal. But they will defend the “image” projected. Leach was the real deal. He had his odd points but He loved fucking loved coaching football. He loved it.
For some reason, some people don’t want the real deal. They want the image that a HC projects…as long as their resume of previous stops is approved. for some reason, some people want someone with one foot out the door and one foot up lodged up their ass.
A lot of us, though, want someone who is good at their job loves coaching football and doesn’t allow their coked out tornado 🌪️ of a personal life to mess that up. A lot of us want Someone who gives their job 110%. Not someone whose extracurricular activities includes boozing out like they are a 22 year old frat boi, banging co-eds and being all around messy. Some people might admire that type of cheesy ass lifestyle in a 50 year old plus man.
To some, Leach wasn’t our “standard” but a total fuckwit like Herman who is so gosh darn amazing he got fired from here, then flamed out at FAU and is so fucking amazing NO ONE WANTS him. Herman gruntled some people. His life is a coked out tornado. 🌪️ how fucking embarrassing.
The staggering amount of NIL and donor money involved means Mid schools have to make smart coaching picks. Doesn’t mean all of them will but smart schools have to find a McGuire type guy who can also win, make smart recruiting and portal choices and who doesn’t mind living in a smaller market and whose personal life isn’t a god damn wreck.
maybe some people admire those with personal lives that resemble a coked out tornado. 🌪️ to each their own I guess. All I know from living on the Panhandle is a tornado does a ton of damage. It leaves behind an unholy fucking mess in its wake.
