The Daily Coach - NFL Draft Day Decisions
San Francisco 49ers Head Coach Bill Walsh had a plan entering the 1986 draft. He wanted one of three players: Gerald Robinson from Auburn, John L. Williams from Florida or Ronnie Harmon from Iowa. So with five picks remaining until his selection, he sat in front of a large desk near the end of the makeshift draft room and waited. Robinson went, then Williams, and finally Harmon. Walsh needed a new plan. Selecting talent is hard in any profession. Tonight, the NFL showcases its talent search in front of a national television audience. Fans will see 32 teams unveil their hard work in data collection, processing, and formulating the best decisions possible — and many will be forced to abruptly make new plans. The stage is set for our 7th @NFL Draft and this year we’ll be taking part in 4 different creative technology activations and events throughout the Vegas strip. An estimated 500,000 people will be in Vegas for this year’s draft, including the entire Famous Team on-site! #NFLDraft Walsh had to do so over the course of 15 minutes. When his desired players were picked, he showed no emotions, nor did he panic or make a reactionary decision. He instead followed important steps to help redirect the men in the room he was leading.
For a day that started poorly, it ended with one of the finest drafts in NFL history. The 49ers obtained eight starters who would go on to help the team win Super Bowls. Most of the players selected were never discussed in detail or as part of his original plan. But by following these important steps and not falling in love with one plan, Walsh made history on this day. We have all seen our initial plans fall apart, but how we react and redirect will determine the overall outcome. It’s never about how we start. It is always about how we finish.
