If you or I take a job and then do it poorly, and get demoted or fired, would George McDonald feel badly for us? No. Because you're judged on results, and if you can't do your job adequately, no one owes it to you to let you keep it.
ok so I just watched the whole interview. While I do think that maybe he got a little too honest in the interview, and should have held back some info, i kinda feel bad for the guy. He genuinely looks like he was blindsided. Imagine yourself for a second, you just accepted a new position with a new job. You're real excited. Then 2 weeks later, ANOTHER company calls you with a PROMOTION and MORE MONEY. You have to move accross the country. Again, you're excited. 20 months later, you get fired for performance reasons. You'd probably be pretty upset as well.
GMac kept saying, execution was the problem. He's right it was, but a job of a coach is to teach discipline AND execution. So thats on him.
Again, the guy seems passionate, probably should have filtered himself here a bit, but I;m not seeing where all this personal negativity towards him is warranted.
point well taken. I don't understand the concept of giving McD a pass though, he agreed to cash the check and had to have known what he was working with. You step up and make the best of your situation and if you can't take the heat then find another job where there isn't as much pressure. The same thing goes on everyday in any workplace in any high pressure job.It's probably equal blame but it's gotta be frustrating when you call up a perfect play, first offensive possession of the game, Lewis is wide open up the seam and Hunt overthrows him. You call up a play for a TD and Ben Lewis drops it. You call up a trick play for a TD and Lewis drops it again. You call up a zone read and the QB doesn't read the defensive end correctly. All I'm saying is for as bad as McDonald was, he didn't have much to work with. I can see why he would be frustrated.
cuseguy said:Shafer would have never demoted McDonald without thinking it through. I'm sure it was a series of events and not just the Louisville game.
What if that person was McDonald?Maybe. I don't think we'd be in this exact same place right now if it wasn't for someone with loose lips. I'd find that guy and show him the door too.

McDonald said he cried after he was demoted. He called his mom and read the bible.
What is his motive here? I'm sure coaches around the country are saying, "Let's hire the guy who threw a public fit when his head coach told him he wasn't good enough."
the uconn game spence's year was well after he'd been shuffled off to a padded room
That was my first thought when the news started leaking as well. His behavior since has only solidified that thought.Given how this has played out, my guess is McDonald was the leak. Which seems strange that a guy who got fired would leak it.,,,but he doesn't appear to be a rational guy.

I kind of feel bad for him. He has an idea of what he wants to do here but doesn't have the players to do it with. His failure was not acknowledging that and playing to our strengths.
That being said, I'm not sure any OC would look good with the way our QB was playing.
