Handling TO...

I was curious if anyone thinks that there's a particular coach or organization - past or present, smart enough to keep TO in line. Enormous egos exhibiting terrible behavior are managed in other industries all the time for bottom line profit, so why can't teams keep TO happy?

 

Lots of people reverse the issue and ask why can't TO behave...to me that's like hoping a dog will learn to ride a bicycle. If a team accepts that TO is worth having, it's up to them to make it work.

 

Nick Saban still wants Ricky back after all the drug use, maybe he'd "get" him. I know lots of people hate TO, but he never gets arrested and he's never in trouble with the substance abuse policy. I don't think TO will suddenly change, so some team needs to figure out how to duplicate the honeymoon experience he had in Philly. I don't think the get tough approach Dallas is attempting will work; isn't it exactly what Philadelphia already tried with his contract?

 

I'd have an entire staff (entourage, if you will) whose sole purpose was to tell TO how great he was and try to keep him happy. His ego can't possibly get any bigger (can it?) so maybe feeding it would keep him happy until game day.

 

 

Of course, TO supposedly turned on Marriucci because he was too much of a nice guy, so maybe I'm off base here. I just don't think that TO can be disciplined into behaving and expecting him not to be a distraction is insane. I think TO is a mess that you try to contain rather than control.

Ironically, I think Jimmy Johnson could have handled him. I always remembered when he said something to the effect, "Of course you treat your star players different(Better)"

 

I agree Bill is taking the needling approach and I don't think it'll work.
