Agreed, Alex.
But, I mean, Haley was destroying locker rooms, going nuts on even Jerry (Emmitt's contract), and sewing dissent of his own right. Yet he was a beast, and he was needed, and our astute Coach/GM at the time was able to recognize this.
Haley hardly fit in. He used to torment Troy, among many others. Imagine if message boards were around back then -- the handwringing and gnashing of the teeth would be unreal.
It takes a head coach with a psychology degree half the time to manage the personalities in a locker room.
Hey, that reminds me. Jimmy Johnson had that degree. He understood human nature.
Garrett, well, let's just say if we could assemble the most powerful robots in the history of ever and have like, you know, a chip, that we could imbed into their hard wiring and make them "execute" every down perfectly, he might actually win a playoff game every year.
There is one thing to wanting "the right kinda guy" and so on.
But has any player, ever, talked about Garrett connecting with them emotionally?
This is an emotional game, let's not pretend otherwise.
And please, stop it right now, before someone invokes Saint Tom.
If right now, the lord above reincarnated Saint Tom, put him on a football field and said, go at it---he would fail.
Today's athlete is far and away the hardest to deal with.
Landry operated his entire career with a captive audience. Good luck with that approach today.
