One of the great challenges of leading any team (athletic or otherwise) is discovering each team member's source of motivation. When you find what makes a person tick or drives them to succeed, the leader's job is then to help them achieve that, to show them how their individual contributions both benefit them personally and the team corporately. The opportunity to fulfill their desires should serve as all the motivation they need, and instead of constantly needing to be propped up, they become a source of motivation for others.
Also, it is more effective to work until you are motivated than it is to wait until you're motivated to act. In other words, start working hard and the motivation will follow.
Leaders who teach their team members to rely on them for motivation create teams that function poorly in adversity. When things are tough, leaders need more time to work out solutions and responses, and they don't have time to coddle unmotivated team members. Conversely, leaders who teach their team members to "dig deeper" and find motivation internally create teams that lead themselves. When adversity hits, self-motivated team members hit back.

I suppose hyperbole is the resort of someone with nothing to say, but, in that case, why pollute the thread?Diesel said:
The fact is, according to Wahlberg, TG was one of our most motivational coaches. He described how "motivation" worked and how it impacted Griz players. The current Head Coach is now complaining exactly the opposite of what he was stating two weeks ago, that the team "has no fire" and that it was not just for that game. OK, that's a "motivation" question, right? By reference, we have what "motivation" can be from a coach. I didn't bring it up, but there is a good explanation of how a motivating coach can work. So I referred to it. Why are you bitching about it, or are you one of the incessant TG-haters and just can't stand any reference to him? Well suck in your blind hatred. He was here and did a good job.

Were they transitioning to D1 during this time? If so, probably bought him some grace?

Hyperbole is an exaggeration like you do with your credetionals and inside information.
Simile comares similar things for example you and the Kettle. You critique posters for doing what you do.
The Kettle and you are similar, thus simile.
The rest of your rant is incomprehensible. Synonyms unintelligible, puzzling.

I suppose now I will have to spend time criticizing you personally, because you have abandoned the thread topic, apparently unable to stay with it. Sorry you didn't understand Wahlberg's analysis of a motivating coach. I know, I know, to you, people like Wahlberg write so poorly, you can't understand them; incomprehensible syntax, synonyms, puzzling. You know, because its incomprehensible to understand what he wrote about a coach that was clearly motivational at UM, because oops, you're a hater and that destroys your ability to understand what somebody like Wahlberg writes. Suddenly, you claim to become obtuse. You can't understand it. Syntax! You're one of the usual gems. Congratulations.Diesel said:

Only if you are trying to argue that Stitt's comment about lack of "fire" has nothing to do with "motivation." Are you?AllWeatherFan said:
So, you must be claiming that it was cold in Flagstaff, and the team did not wear warm enough clothing, right? :roll:
It's not just a stretch; its trying to make a ridiculous point; that the thread really was about Bohl's FCS record.

If the thread was about being a dick, you were right on point. In fact, it seems like you believe almost every thread is about being a dick. Why is that?
75 if you want to criticize me personally, then do it. Don't deflect your smallness saying I don't understand posts by Walberg, I enjoy his well written posts and his years of supporting UM. I also have the ability to like TG and the current coaching staff. It is incomprehensible to me that you(75) can't understand how AllWeather's post doesn't pertain to this thread, it does.
According to your posts, you have no problem sewing threads of discontent with student athletes you know. These are young impressionable men that can be swayed by an older peers that have a history with UM. You post player's discontent with the firing of TG, with how Stitt and staff do not relate or understand how to motivate players. The posts that are missing are the ones that relate to how you have put your personal friendships aside for the betterment of UM football. Where are the posts that show how you understand how a program is bigger than any one individual part? Where are the posts that where you teach these young men how to be loyal to the current coaches? If you post your distain for current coaching staff on Egriz, my fear it is being done with the players you know. If there is truth in this... shame on you, you are a mouse not a man. If this isn't accurate or true, I apologize to you.
Responsibility to motivate players fall on the coaches(all of them) and on the team leaders namely the seniors. Insiders can also sway emotions of these young men, they can sway them to buy into the coaches or to disconnect. Again, 75 this did get personal and I hope you can see the positive in honest reflection rather than getting upset with observations being made. You seem to have great personal attachment to UM and the students. If nothing else, you have made the week after the loss go by faster.

Perhaps we need this type of motivation....
http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...-refutes-reports-slaughtering-stuffed-animals
Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer began his Thursday news conference by refuting a report that he had slaughtered stuffed animals last week as part of a motivational ploy.
When the Vikings returned from their bye week, Zimmer had placed stuffed animals around the team's headquarters as a reminder to players not to be "fat cats" after a 5-0 start. Someone in the locker room later cut the throats of several stuffed animals and applied red paint to them.
The Star Tribune of Minneapolis reported on Monday that Zimmer was the one who slit the animals' throats, but the paper later corrected the report after a statement from the Vikings. However, as the story continued to circulate, Zimmer felt the need to clarify things Thursday....
Although later he stated he gave to a worthy charity "Toys for Tots"

WTF? You are making up conversations that don't exist. I do not "influence" players. I did not "post" players discontent with firing of TG, they did. My sin, to you, appears to be the fact that I pointed to that fact. I have, in fact, refrained from what players have said or are currently commenting on. Believe me, you'd have something to yap about if I did. I did, however, note upon Stitt's confession that the "fire" has been missing for "some time," that this does reflect player's opinions as well. Although it appears conspiratorial to you, there is nothing remarkable about that. If the team is feeling that way, and the coach notices it, that's probably because the team is feeling that way and the coach notices it.Diesel said:
I did not mention that until Stitt confirmed it. You will have to blame Stitt for bringing the subject up, although I doubt you will. The fact is, I merely confirmed the obvious.
You are falsifying conversations and events. This must mean a lot to you to feel that need. You are becoming a typical fanatic fan; sacrificing objectivity and honesty for both propaganda and dishonesty.
I support the Griz enthusiastically enough that, unlike you, I don't feel the need to censor and lie. Sports is better than that. Fans like you corrupt the sport.
