The "Process:" Not Just a McDermott Cliche


TigerJ

Recommended Posts

I was just watching NFL Live on ESPN.  Post game interviews of the Indianapolis Colts had both players and coach mentioning the process a lot.  The Colts have like a 6 game win streak.  Obviously, the "Process" is not a guarantee of winning lots of games, especially for a team with lots of young players in critical positions and some talent holes in a few important positions (like the Bills, but the process is not a bad thing.  It's just a methodical approach to building a winning team and culture.

No, it wasn't.  I posted because a number of fans have treated it that way, and their implication was derogatory.

 

I think the point bang is making is that just because fans have bashed him for it, never meant anyone thought he was the only coach using that term.

I can buy that.  My motive in posting it to begin with is that I think it's a relatively unintelligent way to try and bash the head coach.

a very good set-up line for 235 punch lines that can be thought up by Bills fans  :D

“The Process” is a beautiful, fail safe, Get Out of Jail Free Card to be played at any time for any situation.  It’s brilliant.

 

- You win by 30.  “Winning Big is part of the process.

- You lose by 30 at home against inferior opponent. “Learning not to be over confident is part of the process.”

 

its all true...but at all time creates a rigged game to deflect any responsibility and just keep moving forward.

 

i think it’s brilliant.

"the process" is a term used by coaches that sums up a team as a whole. It simply means this : "we currently suck and we're in the PROCESS of building a winning team". So everytime you hear "the process" or "trust the process" refer to the meaning I just referred to

Call it whatever you want it's all about getting the 53 men on the roster to buy into what the HC is selling, and that is almost always the same thing.  Hard work, attention to detail, sacrifice, a positive attitude, and mental toughness.  

 

You sell your locker room on that, and you have a foundation for winning.  You get talented players to buy in, you can win 8 games a year.   You get a franchise QB, and a talented roster that buys in, you get a dynasty.

Did Belichick bypass losses by pointing to a process?
