quote:
“That’s where I struggled in the NFL, I think, so bad. How do you develop trust? Trust takes time. Maybe I was used to the college player. The younger person who would come over to the house. I would get to meet his family. There’s none of that at that level. It’s grown men doing a grown man’s job. You lose trust… You lose a locker room. You lose a team. You lose everything,” he said.

“The way I earn trust is by being with a guy for eight hours a day. Having you around my family. Being around your family. You see exactly what makes me tick. I’ll do anything for you… And I would expect you to do the same for me. That’s a trustful relationship. That takes a lot of time. I was in the weight room every day. I was in the quarterback meeting rooms. Those guys were over my house. There’s no hesitation. There’s no second-guessing. When you don’t have that… It’s painful. I’ve experienced that a few times.”

Hmm other NFL coaches don't have these problems. Maybe don't be a sociopath where you need people around you 24/7.

"The way I earn trust is by being with a guy for eight hours a day. Having you around my family. Being around your family. You see exactly what makes me tick. I’ll do anything for you… And I would expect you to do the same for me." Is this an Urban Meyer quote or a Jerry Sandusky quote? ??

Seems like he should have had a better idea of how the games were different and what was expected before taking a job like that then.
