Dan Campbell: Destroyer of Olympic Dreams?

[Ryn0]

Ugh, he ruined the system. Go back to the old one.

[Silencers]

I think they should get rid of Campbell and change the system. Picking the Olympic team 1 year before hand is just ****** and then running the team like they were Cubans just doesn't work.

Well picking them 1 year before is not that ridiculous. They have to qualify and all that stuff and make arrangements, but making them live in Colorado Springs is ******.

Picking the team 1 year before hand is what led to Gary Russell collapsing while trying to make weight, I think they should do it 6 months or so because the fighters that are having trouble making weight can just try and qualify at a division above.

And seriously, they should get rid of Campbell, the fighters don't respect him in the corner.

How much of that do you think has to do with fighters putting on muscle do to the cookie cutter training routines?

I think it's just natural growth, 6 months should be enough time to see if there are any indications of weight making difficulties.

[!! Shawn]

I agree, 6 months should be enough.

just like with any team/organization, the leader is ALWAYS responsible. There was no lack of talent on this team, only lack of productive and efficient direction and leadership.

I agree. Like several people have said. You can't take these kids from the coaches that got them there.
