Isn't this what happened to Coach Crean this season? He lost a ton of guys from last yr and it ended up costing him.
Seems to me the portal is doing what some AD's have shied away from in a marginal HC's tenure. Hold them accountable for the program.
Both had reasonable stats.......they'll find some decent landing spot if they want to keep playing.
It sure seems like it's made it easier to push marginal players out the door......perhaps an unintended consequence from the players' rights perspective.
I always liked Cliffy. I always wanted him to get more mins. He has to be about 30 by now.
Same class as Race and Al. I am guessing Cliff talked to Al about the school.
Yes, why? I don't get all the hatred towards the guy. He brought us back from the depths.
I think its just the new way we do things.
Don't like playing time, don't like climate, don’t like profs, don’t like a coach, it is easy to switch. All is now fair. I am not sure what that teaches. When you have a job there are a lot of things you don’t like but you can’t just transfer.
Shit, the under 30 crowd is ****ing that up. So many switch or don't last within months.
We hire 24 a week and maybe 2-3 stick. People can’t handle actual work or just showing up. Unreal.
So when I started this NIL thing I reached out to a wide range of folks for help with video, editing etc. First I went to IU. No IU students wanted to do an internship kinda thing, and I got that kinda. Still would have thought IU kids would love to talk with and be around the players. Would be a great resume builder for any media students. Not a bite tho.
Then I went to this local marketing company and thought I had a match made in heaven. Then it was time to actually do work. Everyone this company worked with was under 30 and the laziest folks I have ever encountered. Would never do anything. Work was a disease. Always excuses, poor effort, and a struggle.
During this they tweeted about how no1 should have to work between the Xmas and New Years holiday, we should all go to a 4 day work week, and working remote should be the new standard. Needless to say, I will never work with that marketing company again.
We are bringing in Mexicans with interpreters. We lowered our standards to try to get under 30 somethings locals(no GED or diploma)still didn’t work. The nicest hardest working people I’ve been around. Our company is willing to hire extra people to get good help. Seems the American dream is still alive just not to the 30 and under crowd.
For the last 10 years I have almost exclusively hired retired military folks. It helps because I work in aviation but the combination of maturity and coming from a job that has required them to essentially be on call 24/7/365 has been a godsend. We are more than 4 times more successful hiring them over college graduates.
What I have started doing, is picking out people in certain fields that I think would excel in almost anything. I think I will start asking these people if they would be interested in new opportunities.
For example, yesterday at Kroger I saw a guy I have seen working many times, I swear I went to HS with. He stocks produce. He works in a manner that is efficient and smart. Doing little tricks to unload different items. I would bet a million bucks he is always on time and the most dependable employ you could ask for.
Farm kids. I've talked to multiple people about this and if someone grew up on a farm, they're the preferred hire for many of the same reasons you hire former military. That's a smaller pool though and getting smaller every year.
In my high school and college years I worked in a cast iron foundry. The Hispanics we had were the best workers in the plant. Always showed up, worked all the overtime they could get, did whatever was asked of them, and were always very productive.
1 other thought and I observe this through family, friends, neighbors and business relationships. Kids who have stay at home Moms tend to be more reliable and responsible.
Entitlement culture. Straight from high school to a VP position is the new expectation….without putting in the work to earn it.
I concur that hispanics are very hard workers. However, I was in the restaurant industry in college, and I became friends with a ton of "amigos" over the years. They got piss drunk a shit ton and didn't show up. When they showed up they worked like no other, but I had to go to their apartments a lot and wake them up next to cans of natty and other Mexicans passed out. Ahhhhh glory days.
