Overall Interview
Although I think Dan is somewhat of a douche bagg, the interview was good. Buzz is honest. And he says what he thinks. And it looks like he busts his ass. He also emphasis hard work and being a real man. Honestly, Buzz shows this and sets a good example for his players. You can tell the man works hard and I hope it carries to over to the team.
Tabb
DV7's 'go to' comment, "he throws the players under the bus," is dumb. What is wrong with him expecting the player to grow independently. To mature independently. To realize what it takes and take advantage of an opportunity ON HIS OWN. Do you want him to spoon feed these kids and expect them to be tough? [do not answer that question, it will only result in illogical banter]
Yes, it is up to Tabb. If he gets back on the squad, he will have grown. He will be better off because of it. It makes sense.
As far as the fans not having his back . . . I can see why.
Part of this seems to be because of the firing/hiring process. Understandable. Although I do not know what the process was, the perception was not good. Wellman could and should have handled it better.
It is clear, the fans need to have the coach's back, the coach needs to have the player's, etc. A unit. This hasn't happened yet. I hope it will.
Final Notes.
DV7, your opinions are great to hear. But please do not repeat the same things about Buzz over and over. We know your feelings. You are Buzz out. There is no problem with sharing these feelings. But quit being a tool and throwing them all over like confetti. You are better than that.
For the record, I am BuzzWait. The first issue is the culture experiment. This experiment better pay off. Because our record sucked. Quite frankly, I expected better, especially if he really is a quality coach. But at the same time I understand that it does take a culture to build a top notch program, something we have never really had.
I'll give him more time, and my support in the meantime. Not just because he is our coach, but because he is working hard and busting his ass. If he does that, I will give him the chance he deserves. BuzzWait.
