Two offensive players and the kicker had more tackles than Chris Jones tonight. His effort was embarrassing and Andy Reid needs to make an example out of it

There’s no skills involved in this. No read , no decision. All they are learning here is a contested finish which is what teams should avoid
Big fan of this: Like Dan Hurley’s teams at UCONN, daily skill development is something that a lot of the best coaches implement - even during the season You should not be the same player at the end of the season as the beginning, and your skill level needs daily refinement

In order to help with this, I’ve attached a list of every Texas Republican running for office in 2026 who voted against the school vouchers final bill.

The guys really went through it with this one. You either win or you learn and today they had a good plan to win and executed.

Consistency isn't treating every athlete exactly the same. It's making sure every athlete understands the standard. The conversations may look different. The support may look different. The expectations should still make sense.

Hot take: these speeches don't have anywhere near the impact people think they do. I love a good pregame/halftime speech. I'll watch them all day long. But from an athlete/performance perspective? Not much impact. What matters more is who the coach is during the week.
WATCH: UCLA head coach Bob Chesney’s pregame speech before upsetting Oregon: “Burn the f****** boats. There is no way out. We can’t go that way. You got to go through those mother f******.”😳 (via westwoodbruin/IG) teapawt.net/cfbwatcherr/status/211…

Your players consistently become what their environment repeatedly rewards.

Steve Kerr says he had imposter syndrome during the Warriors first championship season, and admits he was self aware enough to realize he had it easier than most coaches at the beginning “When I got to the Warriors and saw all these players who were high-character, high-IQ players, I knew this was an opportunity like only a few coaches had ever had.” “I knew I could do it, but I knew I had a much easier job than a lot of coaches in the NBA because we had all the pieces necessary.” “That first year, I felt like I had impostor syndrome. I was pretending like I knew what I was doing early on. But it clicked right away.” “We had this dream season, and we won the championship that first year. There were all sorts of selfless acts by the players. It was the best year of my life to that point. It was just an absolute dream to be part of and to see the players on stage celebrating the championship. I’ll never forget it.” “From that moment on, I’ve become a much better coach. I’ve been through a lot more. We’ve had a lot of knocks and difficult moments that make you better.”

Steve Kerr on the willingness to reimagine how a team operates, even when its previous formula has been wildly successful. “We’ve had a formula here that has been wildly successful…Some of those values we have to get back to...But I think we also have to change some things." Part of coaching is recognizing what needs to be reinforced and what needs to evolve. Your personnel changes. The game changes. What your team needs from you changes. Reimagining your standards and identity means examining how you practice, teach, and prepare and whether those habits still serve the team in front of you. The formula that built your success may need to evolve to sustain it. 🎥: NBC Sports Bay Area
