[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1048191, member: 17953"] Self respect doesn't always mean winning. Sometimes it means accepting defeat with grace and dignity. When I coached, I had a philosophy that I wanted followed by my kids. When you scored a TD, act like you'd been there before. Give the ball to the official, and head to the sidelines. You can celebrate over there without humiliating the other team. It's actually funny how much better my teams played when they acted that way. The other teams began to think that scoring came easy to them, and they weren't going to stay in the game with them. It's like everything else in life. You don't need to put a light on yourself if you're doing things right. Others will know you are. They can see it. Like you said, OldSchool, you may not have been able to beat your brother in the end, but you earned the respect, and it was never tested again in that way. I look at the Bears game, two back, and a DB taunting the fans for the opposition, and seeing the TD pass that beat them, a Hail Mary. How ironic. I hope all the Bears players learned something about themselves, and their part of the team, as they move forward. Caleb, on moving on with a new head coach. I'm afraid that's what the Bears always do. You have to create a winning program, and it never works when you keep starting over with a new staff calling the shots. The Bears constant coaching changes has made them a laughing stock in the NFL because of it. Until they settle in, and give someone several years to develop a program, you're doomed. We went through that in the 70s and 80s, until we had Wolf take over as President, and he hired Holmgren. That put more continuity into the program. [/QUOTE]
