This one cuts to the core.
I had a coach resign yesterday. When I talked to him about it, he said the reason was that the rest of the staff with the exception of a couple of coaches are totally disloyal, want to see me fired, and question my playcalling and team decisions. He said he simply could not stand to hear guys act so unprofessionally.
Now, this is the story of one man, however I tend to believe him. As with all staffs, concerns have been raised by my guys about certain things and I have head through the grapevine some grumbling. I have always approached guys and told them to handle things man to man behind closed doors. I am not a "my way or the highway" kind of guy. While I am the boss, I am willing to listen to suggestions and ideas.
But this takes those rumors and grumblings to a whole new level. How should I handle this? Fire them all? Have a staff meeting and confront them all? Ignore it?
This is new ground for me. I have always been a "caoches coach" who values my assistants and bends over backwards for them. And now I am being plotted against?
I am really hurt, angry and confounded what to do. Any thoughts, guys?
