You brought it up, I was just asking you an honest question about your statement.And you hire employees? Great, you and millions of others (me included) do too. (I’m not sure what the point of bringing that up was but...) Here is IMO the crux of it: You are failing to distinguish between two aspects of running an NFL franchise. Unlike you, those mostly responsible for acquiring/hiring the employees are not also responsible for training them. So many of us here distinguish between the responsibilities of Ted Thompson and his staff in hiring the employees and Mike McCarthy and his staff in training the employees. If Thompson and his staff largely or significantly fail in acquiring talented employees, it makes the job of McCarthy and his staff impossible to compete in their chosen business. IOW, if you as the person hiring employees suck, you as the trainer of those employees will likely fail. And if you say it all starts with you, rather than analyzing your proficiency in doing each of those two separate jobs, you’ll fail to acknowledge the problem of you sucking as the person evaluating and hiring employees. You hire and train employees; the job of NFL coaching staffs is mostly just to train them.Edit: I was typing this and was interrupted  as you wrote another post.</blockquote>
