Boy Will Be Boys

" I really don't think our philosophies could coexist. Your team don't play the way we want to play."
Can't compromise make anything work?
I think this is a classic example of a stuborn person. Just because he does not like that the other team wants to compromise, there is no change, therefor the problem does not get solved.

"It's always better to be a leader then an assistant."
Is this really true?
I do not think it is. Because when you are a leader you are suppose to be a good example of what everybody should be like. When you are an assistant you take orders from the leader but you get freedoms that the leader does not. So I do not think this statment is completly true.

"With all my expertise in coaching, we came close to winning a game."
With all the hard work that was put into the team, was it worth it knowing that they were a lot better then the year before, even though they were still not good at all?
I think this shows that some problems take time to be solved. Even with the best of us. And this team was very, very bad. So even coaching legend Jimmy Johnson couldn't solve all the problems.

"Now that the way to end a playing career."
If your career is not as great as you want it to be but you end strong should you be happy?
I think that a good career is something that you can keep getting better at. Something challenging. 
And if you get good and end strong, you should be content.

Third post, Boys Will Be Boys

"The head coah lost his way. It happens to all of us the miles add up, the brain gets a tad fuzzy."
Does this happen to all of us? With everything? 
I think that eventually you loose your talent for everything. No matter how hard you try, it's gonna happen.

Boys Will Be Boys, second post

"He had a great run with the Cowboys,  but it was over. It was time for a change and the owner knew that."
How did they know that the changing of a head coach would have been good for the team?
I think he saw that the new head coach they were hiring had great potential. He had to take a risk to make the Cowboys better. I think he understood that if you don't take chances, you wont have any.

Finally got my internet and my book today!

Boys Will Be Boys by Jeff Pearlman

"Thee Cowboys contained football magic. Football aura. Football greatness. Then, one day, it vanished."
What exactly did the Cowboys loose that made them not so great anymore?
Was it just because the old veterans had retired and the young stars were growing old? This shows that you have to savor every moment of the glory because it does not last forever for anyone. Everybody grows old and just can't do stuff that they use to be able to do.
