Generals are notorious for their tendency to “fight the last war” — by using the strategies and tactics of the past to achieve victory in the present. Even SEC Coaches fall prey. Life’s lessons are hard won, and we like to apply them — even when they don’t apply.

“Probably the classic example is the French Maginot Line constructed in the aftermath of World War I. France adopted this phalanx of fortifications to prevent the Germans from repeating the August 1914 invasion that resulted in four years of bloody trench warfare.

Unfortunately for France, Hitler and the German generals outfoxed them by inventing the blitzkrieg–a new and terrible form of lightning warfare that simply went around and over the Maginot Line.”
