Montreal Alouettes’ head of scouting Russ Lande and the RSP’s Matt Waldman discuss the success of Miami Dolphins’ quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, the Colts’ hiring of Jeff Saturday, Bill Walsh, Bill Parcells, Andy Reid, and how it relates to effectively balancing task-oriented management principles with flexible and strategic thinking as an NFL head coach.
Topics
This week:
- The successful marriage of the player and scheme in the case of Tua Tagovailoa shouldn’t be a knock on Tagovailoa.
- Where teams make mistakes by taking proven players and forcing new tasks on them.
- Why many task-oriented coaches fail.
- When task-oriented coaches are needed and when they must expand their skill base to reach another level of value.
- How owners influenced by the media create a “can’t-win” situation for coaching hires if you play their game.
- How Bill Walsh’s regimes succeeded with a lot of task-oriented principles thanks to the self-scouting of the coaches in action.
- Why Bill Parcells might have been a good NBA coach.
- Why Andy Reid has a strong balance between task-oriented and strategic thinking.
- How Jeff Saturday could potentially change how the NFL hires coaches.
- Even if the media and former players and coaches are proven right specifically about Saturday, there’s a broader point underscoring the situation where they will remain wrong.
