This is just asinine.
First of all, so much that a coach does is an 'intangible' from the perspective of a fan who isn't there day to day.
You can also evaluate it based off of performance.
If the
only thing you have as a counter argument is 'well, he's got great intangibles' it's
probably not a good sign.
I'm aware of what role a coach plays, but if we're talking about a guy who, according to you, was a defensive stalwart, is a 'student of the game', and, according to the other guy, 'focuses on the little things', a defensively poor team that is undisciplined and loses a lot does not support it.
It's also utterly bizarre 2 of you have been asked to answer what is a 'good' coach and all you're focusing on is puffing up Green.
Surely you don't think that just because you don't see it in the 2 minute fluff pieces the team occasionally puts out that it doesn't exist right?
Surely you don't have gigs of child pornography on a hard drive at your home, right?
This is the sort of loaded (stupid) question that isn't applicable to the discussion. I hope by providing an equally loaded example you'll be able to understand the point I'm trying to make.
I've said nothing about '2 minute fluff pieces', I said nothing about whatever nonsense you're attributing to me. All you're offering up is speculation with
zero basis for it beyond wishful thinking.
Further, half of 'intangibles' that computer boys mock is just things regarding human psychology. You know, things that acknowledge that each member of the team is a unique human with varying degress of motivation, drive, purpose, sense of community, etc and not automatons.
None of which really applies to what I was saying. Again, if your answer as to why is he a good coach is because of intangibles, and then you acknowledge that they aren't things I can see, how the f*** are
you able to make that determination, presuming you also cannot see these things?
Is it so hard to ask for people to back up their claims instead of having people cherry pick minor details and twist them like they're taffy?
From what I understand is Travis Green is a good coach for reasons we cannot see or fathom. There is no proof of this because it is unknowable and impossible to see and there is no way to actually demonstrate this.
Sounds like bullshit to me.
