BobbyC81 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Does it annoy you that he wears long sleeves instead of a Bills polo? As long as he doesn't wear a Ryan sweater vest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100DollarBills Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 As long as he doesn't wear a Ryan sweater vest! Honestly things like this don't matter much to me, just don't like the overly positive hand clapping when we are losing. It's one thing to do it if we are down and we need a pep talk, but to do it every 3 and out? Come on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 This is why we can't have nice things. Â Â Â No.......that's because of the owner(s). Â Saban, Knox, Wade and Mularkey all quit or demanded to be fired................Marrone and Rex likewise............NOBODY.....circles the want ads.......like a Bills head coach.

BillnutinHouston Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 You are paid $2 million a year to do a job only 31 other people in the world do. Â Your team makes a valiant defensive stand. Â You choose to stare ahead stoically rather than try to lift the spirits of the team you are leading. Better yet, pout because you're losing. Â Is this really preferable to a coach who actually tries to use those few seconds of face time with his players to lift their spirits? Is it really better to not even try because ignorant but frustrated spectators might misunderstand what the energetic coach is doing? Get a grip.

Retselpais Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Our new coach has a winning attitude. Remember he is not just changing the losing culture of the Buffalo Bills, but their fans too. I love his cheerleading and clapping style. It shows his troops he is behind them thru thick and thin. Notjhing wrong with it. Maybe the fans at the game should try encouraging the team when things go wrong instead of pouting. Start clapping !!!

ganesh Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Agreed! it actually really annoys me. If you clap once in a while to motivate when things go wrong i get that, but to do it after every negative play just gets redundant Aah. You like the hoodie!

Go McDermott  Yes!  A round of applause after bad plays would be a nice start. We can work up to some standing ovations after losses.  Then these Bills should be ready for the playoffs.

Â Next, what defines success in your position, and what methods have you put to work to motivate your team to reach these milestones of success? 8 people report to me in our department, and we are at will. Success is defined as maximized production and hitting weekly production rate quotas. Methods I use are a stacked employee rating system, I keep 1-3s and 4 and 5s not so much. People who reach our team goals get stock options and RSUs and possible merit raises. If 4s and 5s don't listen to my constructive criticism, I look for replacements.
