Quote:This is actually what i was trying to get through to some ppl. There are several different types of Head Coaches in the league. And each type has examples of success and failer.


There is the Coordinater coach who caoches up and designs and run his offence or defence schemes and hires someone else to run the opposite side(exmp Bruce Arians, Mike Macarthy, Rex Ryan,Sean Peyton


There is the Motivational coach who hires offensive and defensive coordinators to design and run and coach their sides he oversees and motivates the team(exmp Mike tomlin, Pete Carol, John Harbaugh


Then there is the Disciplinairan coach who has his hands in both offense defence and every aspect of the game everything is done his way (exp Tom Coghlin, Mike Holmgren, jim harbaugh


Now there are blends of all and more examples out there. the point im trying to make is Gus is the motivational coach wich he learned form pete carol, if you have been to practices you see he goes from group to group pumping them up, he lets his coaches coach. I do admit he chose the coaches so its on him. But you ppl think gus is out there coaching the defence himself. the head coach is responsible for everything the team does there is no denyng that. But it does help to understand what type of head coach he is and how he coaches to better critique him. If you just judge him by wins and losses and say he sucks, then that is the same as judging your QB by wins and loses (as some of you would do in the past) saying BB5 sucks.

I'm beginning to wonder if Gus is aware of what type of coach he is.


To me, it's pretty clear he should be a Motivational or CEO type coach that sets tone and provides an overview of the direction they should go...


Whether he sees himself as that type of coach is another thing all together. I think what Gus does with babich will give us a better idea.


I think the thing that Gus really needs is some sort of mentor that can teach him the ins and outs of being an effective manager.
