WildBills Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 McD called that play? Sigh. Yup. It is my understanding that head coaches ok the play call before going ahead with it. The nerve! I even saw him trying to engage with each player as they ran off the field - what is the thinking!? Re, the bolded, ya think?? Bwaaaaa haaaaaa haaaaaaaa - I'm sure that would go well for you. I'm a big man but I'm sure he would take me down and give me a noogie after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I have no problem with it. I just wonder how many people defending it are also people who don't believe in participation trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent 91 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 If we ever do well, he'll be in a double hand cast. lol well if he tanks as a coach he can always be the bench press coach at the combine who always kisses everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 lolwell if he tanks as a coach he can always be the bench press coach at the combine who always kisses everyone. I think some protective mittens would suffice.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 This team has much bigger issues than how much Sean claps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Coach McD just added these to his morning workout...he's doubling down on clapping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulus Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It is called leadership. Fans "annoyed by clapping" bother me more than McDermott's clapping does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuncha Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 He has the defense playing lights out, cut penalties way down and you are pissed about him clapping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prickly Pete Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Cultivating a "Mr. Positive" persona is wonderful. I love it! Only the best coaches can do it, ya know. It shows that they love each and every player, and translates to great team spirit! What could go wrong with such positive leadership? He CAN'T fail! He is just so positive! Anybody that questions his super duper positivity is just a loser. A super loser. And the players really respect it. They do! They think "wow, Coach Mickey D is just so positive that I gonna do my very, very best for him. It's like the pep rally's from high school." I've started clapping for my daughter as she approaches the car when I pick her up from school. When my wife burns my steak, I give her a round of applause! The postman rings twice, and I hug him as I leave for work. I recommend you do the same. Let's start giving positive vibes wherever we go. You think it doesn't matter, but if you clap for the bus driver when he opens the door, and clap when he gets your stop right...well, every little bit of encouragement helps. It's called LEADERSHIP! Say it again, like you mean it! This is all just part of the process of building a winner! Give this guy a few years, and he'll make the playoffs as a wildcard, then we'll all be Talkin' Proud!

vorpma Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Really. The nerve of that guy clapping for his D when they forced the Panthers to 3 when they had 1st and goal at the one. Well put! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlamnSam Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 True. It is my opinion. Maybe it's my experience in my profession where awarding effort and not results leads to an overinflated sense of success that leads to complacency? Who knows. I am cherry picking here, I realize that. But sideline demeanor is something that jumps out at me on screen and I can't ignore it and your profession is what? Does it have anything close to resembling a team sport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prickly Pete Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Well put! Very, very, well put! I salute your extremely well placed compliment as well, Vorpma. Terrific work! Edited September 18, 2017 by OJABBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgrappler Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Do you like his sideline mannerisms? I appreciate his intensity and it seems sincere, but I cannot get over when he claps adamantly when there is a 3 and out, a defensive collapse or even something positive. It is the same robotic motion every time. This thread is ridiculous, I know. But it really pisses me off to see how eager he is to greet his players to the sideline when the just blew a big opportunity. It's up there with: Marrones blank stare Todd Bowles **** eating grin Carrols gum smacking confusion Looks like he might have cracked my top three... Some things are better kept to yourself.

Pbomb Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It still pisses me off that Pete Carrol smacks his gum and yells at refs at phantom penalties that he thinks should be made. It's an aspect of the game I noticed. Does it have an impact on the out come of the game? Probably not. Does it say something about his personality and demeanor? Absolutely. Since we are so focused on building a culture, I think sideline actions and behavior to be equally important. If you want to beat a dead horse about TT or lack of positional strength, look at another thread.so u would rather complain about a guy trying to motivate his team and remain positive so the team doesnt get all down on them themselves. Maybe he should just yell at the players and tell them they suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same reaction during the gamer as well. It's like he alligator arm claps or something like that. Holds his arms as close to his chest as possible before beating his hands together after every single play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
