That the egos of someone who’s skills, luck, or timing, has lead them be extremely successful in one specific field, lead them to believe they therefore have the transferable skills to be “experts” in another field (being an offensive lineman in college in the 50s doesn’t count- so were literally a thousand others), this always amazes me.
It shows a complete lack of self awareness, of their limitations, and of the complexities of the new challenge. Jimmy Johnson knew what he was doing. Jones? Still hasn’t learned the lesson.
Jim Leyland said once that perhaps the most important thing he did as a manager was help keep players' mental on track: protect them from negative media and keep them ready to play day to day. Maybe McLellan is just better at that than was Lalonde
