[QUOTE="HornyWartyToad, post: 3250593, member: 70484"] The coaching dynamic of this team was awkward. I heard Sonny himself refer several times to it during the season. His approach seemed to be to let the senior players take the leadership role and guide the team's efforts, and the coaches focus on the more technical aspects of installing new systems. I think he even made one statement along the way of, "getting out of the players' way," or words to that effect. It seemed logical enough given the newness of the relationship and you certainly had to say it worked for the majority of the season. Unfortunately though, the senior player leaders, as good and talented and devoted as they may be, were not prepared for dealing with a battle of this magnitude. And really, no way they could be, they are just kids without a ton of experience, after all. I think you have to say Sonny and staff let the team down. And I hate saying that because I love the guy and what he has done this year, but the milquetoast, "Have fun and do your job" approach clearly wasn't big enough to meet the moment. I have faith that he will learn from this, just as all the staff and players will. But as the feelings are still raw, I have to say. . . Happy Sonny pisses me off. [/QUOTE]
