CM’s coaching philosophy from his own quotes in RTD

[Anachnid]

“Everybody has a responsibility. If you play one minute or 20 minutes, everybody has a responsibility. Every coach has a responsibility. What could we have done to better prepare ourselves?” UR coach Chris Mooney said.

Did the RTD leave out his response to his own question? So much like 47, never accepting any self responsibility.


Obviously, you don’t ever want to have a game like this,” Mooney said. “Everything has to be instructive, and hopefully we’ll be better because of it and not hang our heads but get to work and try to see the things we can improve upon and give ourselves better chances to compete in games.”

Yes I know this was in another thread but it needs to be front and center, “compete in games,” not win games. Yes there is a chasm between the two goals, one is success and one is merely an accepted chance od success.

“Aim at Heaven and you will get earth ‘thrown in’: aim at earth and you will get neither.”​

Yes. I noted that as well in the quotes. The focus was entirely on the players. It has always been that way. Again, we have a leadership school and leadership 101, says the buck stops with me. Good leaders always give credit to others and take the blame for failure.

At least go 50/50 haha.

Will say, not a fan of the way Cronin throws players under the bus. BUT, it did seem to work, I think they have won 6 in a row, with three ranked teams in time since he did that.

Mooney is great at deflecting criticism, and blaming the system. I think if we had a big donor that came up and said: "I have 5 million for you to use to buy best players possible" he would defer, as that would take away an excuse.
