[QUOTE="Sangria Wine, post: 3124581, member: 227"] Recognizing you’re not asking me this question…but, honestly if you’re the top of the food chain and you’re told to do things a way you don’t believe is right then it’s your prerogative to dig your heels in and do what you believe is right. It’s their prerogative to step back and support your decision or fire you. When you’re “the guy” and the buck stops at your desk sometimes you have to do what you believe is right no matter the potential consequences. ie, the Board of Director's tells you (CEO) you’re not doing your job the way they want and demand you to do a litany of things their way. Do you cower down, do what you’re told, preserve your job and be a yes man? Or do you man up, push back as needed and tell them you were hired to do your job, you’re in charge and you’re certain your direction is the right direction and let the chips fall where they fall? Weak, gutless leaders take the first route and strong leaders with firm convictions do the second. Guys like Gary aren’t scared of being fired and they aren’t backing down to demands just to keep their job. And you wouldn’t want a guy in charge who would. Here’s to Sonny kicking ass and taking names. And here’s to Gary teaching Texas players and staff how to toughen up and work like 2 star recruits so they can kick ass and take names in the SEC soon. Don’t write off GP being their head coach before this is all over. [/QUOTE]
