White Linen Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 These gimmicks don't work in the NFL anymore. It's much too sophisticated now in how you prepare and cultivate a team. I'm not saying it's still not a rough and tumble game that players need to be motivated to extraordinary things physically but it's definitely a thinking mans game more than ever. I'm thankful our head coach doesn't rely on or spend time thinking about nonsense like this. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 This is a sneaky back door attempt to revive Frank Caliendo's NFL mimicry career. He's no doubt polishing his Meyer and Campbell imitations. 😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushypeaches Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I get that they tried to take the classic "opposite direction" approach when hiring Dan Campbell, after having the dessicated hobo corpse of Matt Patricia the last couple of years. But the shelf life for these rah-rah coaches is usually very short. I can't see this guy even lasting 2.5 years once the injuries inevitably pile up and his guys start to tune him out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll be a wild card team this year, and he will still be fired half way through year four. Stuff like this motivates guys for awhile, then it gets tiring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thankful our head coach doesn't rely on or spend time thinking about nonsense like this. Maybe he's just using the wrong type of gimmick. Perhaps he should try using a bullhorn at training camp & setting "bounties" on opposing players - that seemed to work out well for Gregg Wiilams, lol. This guy sounds like another loud mouth meathead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I have to admit, this guy is entertaining. That being said, these types of coaches usually have short tenures. Didn't Jack Del Rio have an axe in the locker room for his players to use after a victory, when he was coach of the Jaguars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As my old AVP used to say “We’re gonna miss that guy”. That was his cue, gonner. GB, he was the interim guy at the Fish awhile back. He’s I think an old LB. probably a good position coach, maybe, but not even in the block of a head coach. Guys like Saleh, probably in time of given a chance, but him, we’re gonna miss that guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
