Ultimately reading this article makes me realize nothing's changed with the man. His way or the highway still.

Craig Ehlo. He didn't have a bad career at all but all people remember him for is getting abused by MJ

Tom Brady. Must be awful to know your whole life is defined by cheating and live in denial. Same with Lance Armstrong... But he came clean.
They both make Baby Jesus & me weep w/sympathy.
Give it a couple of years after he retires and the real story may come out
Charles Barkley (always catching flack from Shaq and Kenny for never winning an NBA title, for a guy at 6'5 and be the top 10 in rebounds at the time he retired, he was a beast),
Carlos Beltran (looking at strike 3 in the NLCS, that Mets team was good and was missing Pedro and El Duque who throughout the season their 1 and 2 in the rotation, as a Mets fan I can tell you the fan base will never forget him looking at strike 3)
Ken Griffey Jr (never winning a WS and injuries derailing his career during his prime, he would've broken Aaron's record IMO), and I would watch Yankees games when they played the Mariners just to watch him.
Met fan as well. Beltran was all right as a Met overall. I don't hold a grudge on him for striking out against Wainwright.
What bothered me more about him was years later when he signed with the Yankees, his first action was to talk about how bad the Mets treated him. That was without seemingly provoked into it.

Kind of always felt bad for Rich Kotite. I'm from Jersey so I'm familiar with Jet Nation. Back in the 90's he went 4-28 in two years with the team and Jet fans still curse his name, call him a loser, call him a curse, call him a waste of life, etc. Rich still lives in this area and is sort of a recluse as a result. Although Todd Bowels of late may overtake him in terms of Jet Nation dislike.
In reality, Rich was able to go to a division III school (Wagner) become an All-American and make it into the NFL as a player. Think he still maybe the only person from that school's history to do so. Was a heavyweight boxing champ when he was younger and spared with Muhammed Ali. Spent many years as an assistant coach before he got a head coaching gig with Eagles.
But yeah I always thought it was a case of the worst two years of his life defining him. Two other interesting coaching facts on him:
-He got further in the playoffs with the Eagles then Rex's dad ever did
-If you compare Rich's 6 years head coaching record to Bill Belichick's first 6 years coaching, the Win-Loss record are about the same. Kind of helps the Brady arguments that he's more important than Bill.

What do Todd Collins, Rob Johnson, JP Losman, Trent Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Kyle Orton all have in common ?
There all male
-
Well how about Chris Hogan? When he was here he was just all right but in the playoffs with the Pats he came up huge. Especially in their game against the Steelers.
How much of that do you attribute to coaching/environment?
-
I agree, but how many Hall of Fame QB's didn't have a type A personality? It seems like most do.
How about Kurt Warner and Joe Montana? I mean he got called Joe Cool for some of his personality traits as well.

The Bills beating the Steelers in a playoff game...how surreal does that sound now?
Pretty crazy. I think that game in 92' or 93' was the last time they actually won a game in Pittsburgh
-
I know the week after the Oilers comeback they beat the Steelers in the playoffs. I forgot who the Steeler was but one of them before the game made the comment their overrated and haven't won anything or something like that. It was actually referenced In The Four Falls of Buffalo.
I sort of remember that as well when I was in grade and school and have never cared for the Steelers/Penguins since. Maybe that came at in impressionable age? Go Preds.

Jennifer Love Hewitt a few months back. Kathy Ireland & Tiffani Thiessen as well but I was beaten too it.
-
Interesting responses. Maybe I'm wrong but Bills fans tend to be stereotyped as blue collar. Mostly everyone here's college educated and have white collar jobs
-
I graduated in '85 with an econ degree, have been working retail support and e-commerce for the past 15 years, e-commerce didn't exist in '85, never done a day's work putting my econ degree to use
Econ major as well. Work in the medical field where I've never used it too
-
I mean if you went to college or vocational school. Drifted pretty far from my major over the years in my field. Going back to school at night

In my first job there was such a person, my cubicle mate. He basically did nothing outside of work and home other than go shopping. At work he would always eat lunch and almost always same thing. In meetings he would be there first to so he could sit in opposite corner. In required events he would go but basically keep to himself and leave as soon as possible. Nice guy if you could get him to talk to you.
Just curious do you view see somebody like this as weird or do you wish you could get to know them better? Or maybe a little of both.
-
Never liked the way he got cut two years back when I think he still had a little in the tank. Always left a bad taste in my mouth.
Whaley and Rex are gone now, so I think he'd be welcome to come back for a day. I might be wrong but I think that was their choice?
-
Admittedly this person doesn't sound too different from myself. I deal with social anxiety and depression.
I tend to think most people are all battling or going through something. I've been more honest about things recently so that's been helpful.
-
All right hate was a bit too strong of a word. But honestly yes I always did wonder about that as this fan seemed to be implying Gronk thought he was better than the Bills and their fans.
-
Kinda actually seems fairly accurate. I mean until we can prove otherwise, I'll always remain cautiously optimistic
-
Years ago I was sitting next to a fan that kept cursing him out. He said though Rob said back when he was drafted he would never play for the Bills. He also said even though he's from Williamsville he still hated his guts. I didn't see that quoted anywhere about not playing for the Bills but I didn't disbelieve him.
Know he plays for Pats but is there more hatred for him than Brady?
-
Since more and more full games and clips from that era are available on YouTube it really hasn't in many ways.
-
Initially I'm hoping for a coach that was nothing like Rex but Jauron kind of was. Jauron was humble and emotionless while Rex was arrogant and didn't stop talking. Both didn't really work out.
Perhaps fair but firm, cautious without being conservative, and more discipline. Hoping to see a solid foundation built this year.

There were a lot of mom and pop movie rental stores and baseball card/comic book stores where I lived growing up. Pretty much all gone now.
Admittedly this clip I stumbled across last night made me think of this topic. I think Sizzler is still around though none by me anymore. But yeah this ad, all I could say is wow......

I mean yes on paper it sounds good but I'm reading in between the lines of his dictatorship style and not coaching to players strengths
