This is a great lesson in capitalism. When you're the boss, nobody gives your partial credit for good attempts. Either the team succeeds and everyone is happy, or they don't, and the boss takes the fall.
Taking this a step beyond the intended message (of football and business), this shows an interesting dichotomy in education in jobs. In many countries (example: Japan, France) school is results based, with admissions based soley on rigorous exams. The real world is softer based more on credentials and connections than results. Compare that to the US... Being a good football player (or trombone player) can help you get into school, but the real world is much less forgiving.
Our economy has tough times, but the unforgiving cruel world helps us stay strong.

Perhaps in pure capitalism & small business, but what with the era of large salaries & golden parachutes often those who mislead aren't really "punished". There is also plenty of CYA & scapegoating in the professional world along with a lot of people who eat it up.
