If its not China, its Russia. If its not Russia, its Texas. If its not Texas, its Iowa/Wisconsin.(sigh)
I thought Nebraska fans were a "the buck stops at the top" kind of group. I mean when Solich, Callahan, Pelini and Riley struggled, some here said it was entirely their fault, because they were poor leaders, motivators and trainers. If anybody brought up other factors that might impact our success, they were castigated as whiners and making excuses. It wasn't "Missouri's" fault that we lost. It was our coach.
This thing started in China, but isn't China just another "Missouri?" I mean, doesn't a great coach, a great leader, create a strategy to defeat their opponent? Doesn't he look at what works and implement those strategies to maximize the team's strengths and minimize their weaknesses? Doesn't a great coach/leader put together the best staff he can of people who really understand how to do their jobs and give the team the best chance for success? Doesn't a great coach/leader motivate and unify the team toward one goal? A great coach doesn't make excuses and blame others. He doesn't splinter his team into factions. He pulls his group together, let's them know he has their back no matter where they come from or what they believe, and builds them into a united bunch that can't be beat.
We are talking about China now, aren't we?
