Exactly! That was his point, K. He said those were the mistakes he made at Kansas and Notre Dame. They were talking about what he would tell a first time head coach and he pointed out what he did wrong in building staff back then. He didn't use the hiring strategy he is now supporting. Hopefully Dennis Allen has learned from some of his own mistakes the first time around, as well, plus seeing what did and didn't work with Payton.

Major’s point may be that Why does what Weis have to say matter? Weis is
guessing on WHY HE SUCKED. He says he learned from his mistakes, but where is the evidence of that? When was his last successful NFL season ?

It doesn't matter who it came from, it just so happens to have come from him. The guest was a coach, as well, I can't remember who, however, and he agreed completely. Weis very well may still have sucked as a head coach, but they both knew his hiring practices were faulty. It is still a truism. Correct? It makes perfect sense, does it not?

Or are you saying it's better to hire coaches who are friends with no experience (what he said he did at Notre Dame)? Are you saying it is better to hire experienced coaches that you have no prior working relationships or understanding of common ways of thinking (what he said he did later at Kansas)?

Or are you simply arguing the point just for the sake of arguing?

I’m not taking sides on the overall issue between saintfan and others against guido. I’m commenting on the remarks in this thread. This thread was going fine with a back and forth of thoughts, ideas, and opinions on the topic. Then you had to do exactly what y’all have vilified guido of doing and that’s try to start an argument. Again, not taking sides because there are points to be made from both as well as negatives to be had on both. But this senseless attempt to start something every time guido says something isn’t working in case y’all haven’t noticed. Unless I missed it he hasn’t taken the bait yet.

Thank you, jlouhill. I was hoping I wasn't the only one noticing. I had put Boston on "ignore" some time back because I was sick of getting into arguments with him over stupid stuff. I took him off my ignore list because, unlike saintfan, he actually posts Saints worthy discussion. But, it's started again.

It is working. He hasn't attacked anybody since I went nuclear on him. He's attacked me plenty, and he's trying to divide the board to be sure, but it's working - it just takes time. When enough people realize they can hold him to account we will have made real progress - the community he preys on will be his ultimate demise...and be careful what you say because he'll report you too. He's the only person here who does - everybody else just moves on with their lives.

Speedo is getting what he gives. Little speedo has derailed more threads here over the years than I can keep up with without keeping a list, which I started about 2 years ago. His actions can't be ignored anymore and he has to own it. The community deserves a place to have opinions without being challenged by our resident race baiter. As a part time paid writer on the interwebs, I am personally pissed at his knack for plagiarism, but it's not just personal. It's also against the law.

Apologies for the drama. It can't stop until the problem is solved, and as we can see by Speedo's response, he still hasn't owned it. NPD is a tough nut to crack.

Like I said, I’m not taking one side over the other here. I can’t speak to what has happened in the past as I haven’t been on the receiving end of any of what you are claiming against guido. I rarely post on here but I do frequent the site almost daily because I get very informative information about our Saints on here. I will occasionally chime in but usually just read as I have never played organized football so I’m a bit ignorant about some of the inner workings of the game such as placement of certain players in certain positions and so on. I grew up playing baseball so I’m more in tune with the ins and outs of that sport.
I like what most everyone brings to this forum Saints related. As I stated I have never had any negativity from guido. As with others I don’t always agree with his analysis or how he may respond to others. I usually just bypass things that seem to get personal or off topic. I have seen where he has said he has apologized privately to some and he has toned it down recently. As you have admitted he hasn’t attacked anyone since this war started. He has also stated that he is trying to do better.
May I make a suggestion merely as a third party on the sidelines of all this. Maybe call a ceasefire and see how things pan out. If someone breaks the ceasefire then have at it. I will just have to navigate the mine field of vitriol and focus on Saints news. I think a lot of us on here would like to see some sort of peace agreement. I’m certainly not telling you or anyone else on here what to do. It’s just a friendly suggestion.
