Perhaps Moore, the offensive coordinator, consulted with his head coach, Garrett, and revised the offensive game plan they used in games four though six to what we witnessed Sunday night. It could have happened that way. You never know.
That is exactly what Switzer said coming in as the HC, that exact thing and I completely agree. The coaches are responsible for putting them into their best possible position to succeed through prep, game plan and play calling but not for motivating them.
It's always been a burr in my saddle, there are only 16 of these and they are getting paid extremely well and are on TV for all their family and friends to see as well at the game and they need a coach to motivate them? Most of that motivation is BS, like Brees and his pregame showoff. Or how Ray Lewis used to look like some Voodoo witch had a doll of him and a box full of pins.
What the hell was the HC doing in the locker room before they came out that they need some asinine chant on the sideline. These are supposed to be men, act like it. Bad enough they've got the little handshake and goofyass little rituals after making a play, what they're paid to do.
CC, I agree with you to a point. Yes, that's the old school mentality ... they're men and professionals and that should be enough but you know, it ain't. The team fell apart under Barry Switzer. Pissed Aikman off terribly that there was no discipline . The other side of the coin is Jimmy.
Master motivator and psychologist (with a degree in psychology). He constantly used differing angles to motivate the team and fear was one of his prime weapons. So these men, professionally skilled men, are also human and succumb to and are moved by human traits. External motivation is used by all ... including Belicheat.
