Over the past several days I have heard several reports about coaches leaving professional sporting teams because of 'philosophical differences' with the top brass.
I like to imagine that at some point in the recent past that management and the coach had a knock down, drag out argument about their own personal philosophical stances. I imagine that management wanted to follow a path based on Hegelian dialectics while the coach was more interested in making decisions based on his understanding of Hobbes's 'state of nature' (because life is "nasty, brutish, and short").
A more likely scenario than the one described above is that management wants a team that wins more of its games than it loses, while the coach's actions during the previous season would seem to suggest that he is more into losing than winning. While this is certainly a difference, I am pretty sure that I wouldn't go so far as to say that it is a 'philosophical difference.'
