Today on The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon, Jason and Mike react to Jeff Saturdayâs first press conference as head coach of the Colts. Saturday wasnât selling anything he wasnât, but the guys believe that people that can inspire â al la Ted Lasso â can have an effect on players and make a player the best version of themselves. The guys explain to you the ways the Jeff Saturday experience and the âTed Lassoâ effect can be successful!
Jason Smith: âMasterminds win in the NFL, but so can inspirers, right? The Ted Lasso effect is real. If youâre a head coach and youâre able to make a player the best version of himself, you can win. A happy player is a good player. When you know how to play already, you can be the CEO type coach and inspire, and that can work. Iâve seen it work. And you talk about a guy who has coached High School football. Heâs like a real life Ted Lasso, except an NFL coach!â
Mike Harmon: âJeff Saturday actually played football at a high level. Heâs a guy whoâs a known quantity in the league, certainly in the locker room and is able to be straight up with people and cut through everything else.â
