It’s called personal responsibility. Something lacking from these players and society in general.

Re: Observations from the saints Loss to the 49ers
 

Well, That's something that the COACH is legally and ethically responsible for MANAGING (these players, not society in general). You just proved my point. Thanks.

If you think so

Re: Observations from the saints Loss to the 49ers
 

It's not just what I think. It is in the literal/legal job description of a Head Coach.

If a Head Coach collects a hefty paycheck to stand on the sidelines and watch (with a "deer in the headlights" stare) millionaires who are under his care shoot themselves in the foot on the field, then the Fans had better find a new activity to invest in on Sundays.

It says in the legal job description that Allen is Responsible for fumbles. Ok.

Provide adequate and proper equipment. ...
Match your athletes according to size, physical maturity, skill level and experience.

***MOTIVATE and MAKE ANY AND ALL NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS to maximize Players' performance/productivity.

PERIOD. ("OK")

Re: Observations from the saints Loss to the 49ers
 

So nothing about fumbles. Ok.

Supervise the activity closely ...

***MOTIVATE and MAKE ANY AND ALL NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS to maximize Players' performance/productivity.

Re: Observations from the saints Loss to the 49ers
 

I read it the first time…fumbles aren’t mentioned. I doubt there is a player on the team including Kamara himself who holds Allen responsible for KAMARA’S fumbles in that game.

If my Boss is responsible for teaching, motivating and supervising me to carry something precious across a line, and to NOT DROP IT, or to NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO PUNCH IT OUT OF MY HANDS... and I continued to DROP IT, especially in critical situations... my Boss would have to MAKE ADJUSTMENTS in my level of "personal responsibility", or REPLACE ME, to better achieve his team's objective. He (or She) wouldn't be able to just shrug his shoulders and throw his hands up in the air, and still call himself a Boss.

The Head Coach doesn't get to simply gaze onto the field and watch his team "fumble" away critical opportunities, and do nothing about it, week after week... That's NOT what he's getting paid to do. It's a Head Coach, not a Mannequin.
