Here are Sean's strengths and weaknesses:

 

ISTJ Strengths
  • Honest and Direct – Integrity is the heart of the ISTJ personality type. Emotional manipulation, mind games and reassuring lies all run counter to ISTJs’ preference for managing the reality of the situations they encounter with plain and simple honesty.
  • Strong-willed and Dutiful – ISTJs embody that integrity in their actions too, working hard and staying focused on their goals. Patient and determined, people with the ISTJ personality type meet their obligations, period.
  • Very Responsible – ISTJs’ word is a promise, and a promise means everything. ISTJs would rather run themselves into the ground with extra days and lost sleep than fail to deliver the results they said they would. Loyalty is a strong sentiment for ISTJ personalities, and they fulfill their duties to the people and organizations they’ve committed themselves to.
  • Calm and Practical – None of their promises would mean much if ISTJs lost their tempers and broke down at every sign of hardship – they keep their feet on the ground and make clear, rational decisions. Peoples’ preferences are a factor to consider in this process, and ISTJs work to make the best use of individual qualities, but these decisions are made with effectiveness in mind more so than empathy. The same applies to criticisms, for others and themselves.
  • Create and Enforce Order – The primary goal of any ISTJ is to be effective in what they’ve chosen to do, and they believe that this is accomplished best when everyone involved knows exactly what is going on and why. Unclear guidelines and people who break established rules undermine this effort, and are rarely tolerated by ISTJs. Structure and rules foster dependability; chaos creates unforeseen setbacks and missed deadlines.
  • Jacks-of-all-trades – Much like Analyst personalities, ISTJs are proud repositories of knowledge, though the emphasis is more on facts and statistics than concepts and underlying principles. This allows ISTJs to apply themselves to a variety of situations, picking up and applying new data and grasping the details of challenging situations as a matter of course.
ISTJ Weaknesses
  • Stubborn – The facts are the facts, and ISTJs tend to resist any new idea that isn’t supported by them. This factual decision-making process also makes it difficult for people with the ISTJ personality type to accept that they were wrong about something – but anyone can miss a detail, even them.
  • Insensitive – While not intentionally harsh, ISTJs often hurt more sensitive types’ feelings by the simple mantra that honesty is the best policy. ISTJ personalities may take emotions into consideration, but really only so far as to determine the most effective way to say what needs to be said.
  • Always by the Book – ISTJs believe that things work best with clearly defined rules, but this makes them reluctant to bend those rules or try new things, even when the downside is minimal. Truly unstructured environments leave ISTJs all but paralyzed.
  • Judgmental – Opinions are opinions and facts are facts, and ISTJs are unlikely to respect people who disagree with those facts, or especially those who remain willfully ignorant of them.
  • Often Unreasonably Blame Themselves – All this can combine to make ISTJs believe they are the only ones who can see projects through reliably. As they load themselves with extra work and responsibilities, turning away good intentions and helpful ideas, ISTJs sooner or later hit a tipping point where they simply can’t deliver. Since they’ve heaped the responsibility on themselves, ISTJs then believe the responsibility for failure is theirs alone to bear.

You got me, man. I start one or two threads a year in this joint. Mr. LAMP. What a thrill it is.

 

You're right, that was unfair. My bad.

 

I don't think you could/should be talked into enthusiasm. I myself am cautiously enthusiastic based solely on the fact that we are at least cleaning house and this has been needed sorely for years and this is the first time we actually look to have an actual plan for the organization. Aside from that, there is absolutely no reason to be excited about a first time HC and possibly a first-time GM. Until they start stringing wins together consistently and putting a team out there that actual shows heart and competes in contested games there is really no reason to be excited to root for this team.

....he's the new sheriff in town.....I'd say by the 1/4 pole of the regular season, you should have some inkling as to whether he is gonna be "Andy of Mayberry" or "Joe of Maricopa County"....stay tuned.............

I am all in on high charachter and discipline

 

you can't win with talented dummies like jerry hughes and marcel dareus

We also showed we couldn't win with fine upstanding so called high character guys like Kelsa , Fina , Kyle Williams , Eric Wood and Schoebal either .... If you want all character and discipline guys minus the talent then join the army or go to church... I want talented beast mode players and an Alpha Dog head coach who can unleash the fury..... something we clearly don't have

he can study Jim Johnson all he wants he defenses was never as good during his D-coordinator tenure.. Lets pray Leslie Frazier , who actually know defense and won a super bowl can bail him out

Dude, nowhere do I say that I'm right. I may well be completely off base.

 

Just wanted to have some dialogue around different people's reads on the guy so far. And of course facts and results as they emerge will tell the story. But it would be a pretty boring offseason if no one shared any reactions to what's going on at OBD.

 

Sorry, my response was more just a general response to John's comments, I don't really mind the premise of the thread...

 

That said, you had me right up to:

 

 

 

But right now I just have the feeling he is in over his head, but has impressed the Pegulas with his organized approach, attention to detail, and stoic wrestler manner - none of which will make him a good coach IMO.

 

Why do you feel he's in over his head? By all accounts he just led a successful draft and players seems to be bullish...

 

And I would argue that the second bolded parts are very much traits that will help him be a good coach. Probably the wresting too!

 

 

Google something like "What makes Sean McDermott a good coach" and read some the articles. At this point we're going to have to wait for the season to see how he does, but IMO, you can't help but be at least a *little* optimistic.

I wouldn't mind a boring, joyless HC who just wins. I sure hope that the winning part happens for a change.

Must be nice to have such a clear and wonderful crystal ball. I'm cautiously optimistic, but I'm not capable of conjuring up the next Lotto numbers.

 

BTW, can one of these absolutely certain posters provide a little help on that Lotto front? :)

players seem to like him. Jerry Hughes and Richie Incognito both praised him.

That's the key...who cares if we like him or not....if the players like him and work hard for him, that is what is important...plus I love how he says everyone must earn their job and the right to win.

Forget Lotto. I'm hoping the Nostradamus crowd gives us some good stock tips

IDK, I'd be good with a cool $90 million!

 

I mean, I was pretty sure Rex was going to be.....well, Rex. But I hoped for the best. Nobody can know for sure, and the people who come as so stinking sure are usually just exposing themselves.
