Can confirm. I've led tech teams for years and not only am I introverted, but my entire management chain up to the C level largely was as well. Those introverted math majors are everywhere!
I think a lot of people misunderstand the phrase introvert. They assume introverts to be quiet and socially withdrawn. It just means you need to recharge your social batteries by being alone sometimes. I think we could classify Bellichick as an introvert and he's one of the best to coach the game.
Yes, that's what Pete Carroll has tried to do, same 3 things, and the rest of the NFL figured it out years ago. Our D didn't create nearly enough confusion problems for QBs. Very encouraging to hear him talk about this!Yes! That line really jumped out! He said the offenses have gotten too complex to play that way.
Someone may have asked him that, but as usual no one listening from home could hear the question.
He IS an introvert, but he's worked long and hard to develop the extrovert-ish skills to fool the public. I know, because that was my journey too, and I used coaching youth sports as my learning lab to work on those skills. Macdonald, as a professional coach, has probably worked 10X as long and hard as me on this stuff. Introverts have to work, work, work to learn to do the things that extroverts do naturally.
