The pain of discipline vs. the pain of regret
ESPN.com - NCF - Curry: The pain of discipline vs. the pain of regret
No one is pressing for the solution to this growing menace. No one is putting it into context. “The coach must take responsibility,” pontificates the former coach. “Fire the coach” scream the boosters who, by the way, always scream, “Fire the coach”. “I wish the coach would teach my son how to behave,” exclaim the parents. The paltry one-game suspension by conference officials would be a bad joke, but is made even worse by certain Miami boosters, who are suggesting that all this is a badge of honor, and “returns Miami to its rightful place in football.” “Just what our program needs right now,” they crow in their delirium.
Wow, what an incredible article. Curry hits the ball out of the park. Have you been watching the UM-FIU mess? Pretty sorry state of affairs. I was just lamenting with a colleague about the total lackm of leadership we are seeing in society right now. Everyone is focused on the hear and now. No one wants to deal with the long term. No one wants to pay the price now for success later. But as I look at it more closely I am not real happy about what I see in my own life. Too often I make the easy choice instead of the tough one that has longterm implications. What about you?
Actually, I have more thoughts about this article, but will leave it at this now.
