Yup - he’s there for leadership and grounded confidence on the professional side. IMO, he does give Brad more confidence in the professional/technical side…but as it pertains to being the “lead energy” in the room…that’s Brad. Brad is the emotional leader that people turn to, more than anything, whereas Dorsey is there to help him see his own blind spot, and help him to assess his own decision making, as well as provide a 2nd/3rd voice. IMO, the other energies, Like Spielman and Dorsey (there for completely different reasons) are more tertiary, and while they do help with faith building and grounding (and manifesting), they are not the lead.
Spielman is to manifestation energy…in sending STRENGTH, good will, love, success, etc
as Dorsey is to the professional/technical side.
I’m more like Coach Dan. I am aware that I don’t protect myself enough, and that I get to bring in someone who thinks more like a lawyer…I’m aware that I need professional help (see what I did there?) in marketing, etc. I’m not the technical professional, and it is NOT my nature.
Brad, Dan, Office LBer, Dorsey, Sheila - they all bring a different thing to the table. I don’t see a real negative yet. I DO see some hesitation in some people
(Office LB’r, Dan, Dorsey, Sheila), but I don’t think it has to do with lack of confidence in what’s happening…I feel like it has to do with emotional hesitance to allow yourself to celebrate…worthiness stuff that is buried deep, combined with knowing the past of the organization…which carries a “Let’s not celebrate now, there’s a shitload of work to be done” attitude.
When Dan said to Sheila in a different video, “I’m gonna make ya proud,” I was moved by that. I can see his identity as a man, a football guy (player, former coach, and football brother), shifting to a “football son.” Dan’s identity is anchored to this team winning/losing. He WILL take it to heart. He’s a tough son of a bitch, who is well versed in pushing past pain and fear. Some of his walling off is necessary. He may/may not know this, but he is a FANTASTIC manifestor, and his passion and “willing it to happen” is going to be huge in mentoring these young humans that were teenagers a couple of years ago. He will teach them to “will it into being” because he is a friggin healthy alpha, and there is a ton of healthy energy on our staff…and in the locker room.
Trey Flowers has DOPE energy too, and I think some of those lower-tier leaders show up in ways that a stat sheet will never reveal. I believe Hoch is finding his way in this regard, and hope to see a lot of that in Goff too.
Coaching staff is DOPE.
