Matt Waldman’s RSP Cast Scout Talk with Russ Lande: Interim Coaches, Media Scouting, Failure, and Organizational Management


This week’s edition of Matt Waldman’s RSP Cast Scout Talk with Russ Lande discusses the value of coaches with varied experience, interim coaches, and advice to aspiring media-football scouts. 

Why is it important for football leadership to have a variety of experiences under different regimes?  Why are desperation and failure vital components for organizational success in NFL scouting?

Why do so few interim coaches have long-term success in the NFL and what does this mean for Raheem Morris in Atlanta?

And why is it important for aspiring scouts—football and media—to own failure? Former NFL scout, BigTen Network analyst, and current CFL scout, Russ Lande and Rookie Scouting Portfolio publisher Matt Waldman discuss these subjects and more in this week’s Scout Talk podcast.

If you’re interested in the game behind the game of football as well as the perspective that’s important to be a scout, this episode is for you.
