As a coach? He’s already transformed as a leader, as can be seen in the story we just put out…
“You know, in the leadership role, a good leader understands that people aren’t going to like you at times,” Pittman said. “They’re just not, a good one. If people like you all the time, you’re probably not leading, to be perfectly honest with you.”
“And so I had to learn to be comfortable with people around me not necessarily liking what I had to say. I wanted to be the guy that everybody liked all the time. But I don’t know if we’re doing right by the kids with that type of mentality.”
But how does Pittman improve as an actual football coach? He’s made plenty of mistakes on the field the last few seasons. What do you guys think he has to do to elevate the program another level?
