The Saskatchewan Roughriders named ex-Toronto Defensive Coordinator Corey Mace as its new head coach but the more interesting aspect of this announcement centers around which reporter told you so, which reporter was right, which reporter was wrong, who was first with the news, etc. I’m forever amazed at the fragility of people’s egos when it comes to this stuff. To me, the best way to approach something like this would be to say, “I’ve talked to people in the industry that I trust and they tell me Corey Mace will be the next head coach of the Roughriders.” That’s all you need to say until the announcement is made. You could then offer up what you truly know as far as who’s getting an interview, who you think would make a good choice, etc. and that’s really it. I find it childish for all when the fingers start pointing “You told me Mace was out of the picture” and replies from the reporter focus on hair splitting to try and wiggle out from being ‘wrong’. We live in very strange times where admitting a mistake seems to be a ‘no no’. Jerk critics really don’t have a leg to stand on if you say, ‘I heard earlier today that Mace was out of the picture but clearly that information was either false or the Riders and Mace got together and bridged the gaps.’ Fans love to be know-it-alls and in a Twitter (X) world where they can stay anonymous, it’s easy to be mean. But, there’s no retort if you just admit you are wrong or say something changed from the last time you tweeted.
