I KNEW SOMEBODY HAD THAT THING TO LEAK!
Wow, what a mumbling bumbling bitch. 8 minutes that could have been 1, sheesh.
Dude is going to get rekt at Bama.
*Sigh* We hold coaches to a weird standard. We mock them for getting emotional or upset, but we also criticize them if they do nothing but the disingenuous “coach speak”.
But yeah, in corporate America this would’ve been an email followed by a quick meeting with some lackey from HR. Not saying that’s the healthiest way to do it, but this doesn’t seem appropriate either.
There is plenty of room between emotional crying self centered platitude retard and HR robot. I dont know why you are stuck on defending your cheating ex for sounding like a retard, even chat gpt could have given him a more honest coherent 2 min speech.
My intent in that post was not to defend him. But after rereading my reply I can see where someone can come to that conclusion. And you’re right, there’s whole lot of different ways you can handle these situations without going full on HR robot.(I am curious now to try to prompt ChatGPT to write a speech for a coach leaving to go to another program now and see what it spits out!)
Again, I’m just trying to say this is all fucked up.
I agree its fucked...
since you asked... CoachGPT (30 seconds):
I've got something heavy on my heart, and it's not easy to put into words. This season, with all of you, has been a wild ride – from the highs to the lows, we've been through it all. Playing in that national championship game was a dream come true, and it's all because of the incredible team I've had the privilege of leading.
But here's the tough part. [/s]I've made a decision that's tearing me up inside. I'm heading over to Alabama to take on the head coaching gig there. It's something I dreamed about as a kid, and it's a chance I can't pass up.
I want you all to know this wasn't an easy call. Leaving the University of Washington, leaving you – it's like leaving family. I've laughed, cried, and fought alongside you all. Each one of you has left an indelible mark on my heart.[/s]
To my players, you guys are more than just a team to me. Your passion, your grit – it's contagious. I believe in each one of you, and I know you're going to do amazing things. I get that this news hits hard, and I'm sorry for any disappointment it brings.[/s]
As adults, we're faced with tough decisions. Sometimes it's for the team, sometimes it's for ourselves. You guys, too, will face choices – choosing to come here in the first place, transfer portal decisions, whether to pursue the NFL or come back for another year. It's not easy, and there's no one-size-fits-all answer. All I can say is trust your gut, follow your heart, chase your dreams, and remember, every decision shapes your journey.
To my coaching staff, you're the unsung heroes. The late nights, the crazy strategies – it's been a hell of a ride. I owe you all more than I can express.
[/s]
This decision, it's not a goodbye. It's a "see you later." I might be wearing different colors, but I'm still here for you. Need advice? A chat? Just want to shoot the breeze? Call me anytime. We might be on different paths now, but if you want it, I will help you as much as I can.
So, thankyou for the memories, the wins, the losses, and the family we've become. Washington, you'll always have a piece of my heart.[/s]
Ill be in my office for the next hour, if anyone, and I mean anyone, wants to come personally chat please come see me, if not that is ok, I absolutely understand. [/s]
Obviously you would sprinkle in a specific anecdote or two from the season or call out a particularly special player/coach... but chatgpt cant do that. This is infinately better than the mubbled fake bullet point nonsense Defraud chose.
