Belichick for President
June 5, 2008
According to CBS Sportsline, my main man, Pats head coach Bill Belichick ranked #2 on HR World’s list of “10 Coaches That Could Be Exceptional CEOs.” As a young PR rep for NYNEX years ago, I think I remember HR World as a rather “ratty, crappy” trade rag, but it’s like my blog. If you read HR World and/or take a dump in the woods….does anyone see or read it? Apparently, HR World (short, for Human Resources, that dinosaur-like reference to the corporate personnel department — ergo backwater) listed Belichick’s top trait as a willingness to admit mistakes. Bill B. is one of the more fascinating personalities on my rather limited horizon, and I’d love to have lunch or coffee with him one day. However, I think HR World, that so-called pinnacle of human skillsets reporting, is trying to grab a bit of publicity. Not a bad motive, mind you. But the poll also cited Denver’s Mike Shanahan, who hasn’t won anything since an Elway was in the NFL.
