LOL, I know.
In recent years I've come to believe that the best attribute in a great QB, coach or GM is the ability to learn from their mistakes and become better at what they do over time. They evolve. Obviously, the greatest QBs/coaches/GMs in the NFL made mistakes as they learned their craft. I've even seen Bill Belichick make some incredible bone-head mistakes in games in his career (just as stunning as the 4th quarter of last week's Bears game). But these guys gain understanding and wisdom - and evolve into great coaches. The guys we've had in the past here, didn't seem to get better over time.
And I've never seen a guy like Belichick grovel to the sports media about having made a mistake - or even admit he had made one. While fans would love to see transparency (I would), you're not going to get that most of the time. And most of these coaches won't air their dirty laundry in public - as far as what is happening in the locker room with personnel matters. This drives the fans and press nuts. We feel it's our "right" to know everything. But most great coaches don't throw players under the bus publicly. These are matters between that coach and that player.
