If you have or show weakness, the opposition is going to sense it and pounce like jungle cats (pun intended). It's the same with players, coaches, front office personnel, politicians, business leaders, etc. You have to completely believe you are better than the next guy, you have more to offer, or you will never reach the level we're talking about.
I own an executive recruiting firm and make my livelihood dealing with mostly mid level and multi state managers, but also the occasional national manager. There is not one of them who does not make exceptionally good money. There is also not one of them who doesn't believe he is capable of making more and of doing his boss' job. I am almost certain this same mindset applies to the NFL.
Indeed. If you are ever at a job interview and they ask "where do you see yourself in 5 years?" and you answer "doing this exact same job at the exact same pay rate forever" you probably won't get it. Just a hunch.
