Has he had an opportunity to be a head coach? I thought he just got promoted from position coach... 28 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: It was a poor look. Throw your headphones down, fine. But the hissy fit was unprofessional. Gotta be better than that. Not the end of the world or anything but you have to control your emotions as a coach. And I say that as a coach who has also failed to do it on occasion too. I get it. But he has to do better. I wasnt impressed by Josh's carry on either.. even if someone did grab his nuts... Gotta have some cooler heads when there is some pressure on and they arent cruising up by 30 Edited September 25, 2022 by Aussie Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paup 1995MVP Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 25 minutes ago, Nextmanup said: I LOVED IT! It made him look human and not beyond some good old fashioned emotion. The OP's barometer is a bit off on this stuff. These guys are ex-jocks and athletic coaches. His behavior was probably perfectly normal. You just don't see it all the time. Using the word "unhinged" is ridiculous and describing his tirade as "truly bizarre" is also misguided. At least that's my 2 cents. I agree 100. I loved it too. I am glad he cares so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in Chicago Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 He should be unhappy. The O held the ball for 42 mins even though the OL was unable to hold their blocks. Yet we scored only 19. I know it's not a good "look" but I like it tbh. Get the boys healthy and smash the Dolphags the next time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GETTOTHE50 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 The guy is probably up 18-20 hours a day planning and coordinating game plans for the week away from home while making adjustments from prior games as well as for long term goals. Putting that much time into something and not getting a good result would be maddening. Especially if you’re super competitive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Linen Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I'm not bothered by it but watching it live, I thought wow, it's rare to see that kind of emotion shown.

SoMAn Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) Judging by a lot of the responses, I think the point was missed or not stated clearly enough. Sure, we were all frustrated. But I’m surprised that so many of you consider that behavior perfectly normal. I can understand if he threw something, punched a wall, pounded his fist on the desk, threw down headset. Any ONE of those actions would be a fairly normal reaction. But it was the prolonged smashing and throwing that was disturbing. It was something more typical for a pre-schooler who’s a candidate for Ritalin. What would be your perception of a co-worker or boss if they displayed a tantrum of that nature? Would you applaud him or her for being ‘passionate’ about their job?

Basically gifted Miami a touchdown. Yeah, that second drive, what was that? Two Moss runs into the line, after Josh had carved up the Dolphins with his passing on the first drive. For the most part, the Bills were obviously trying to keep the ball out of Miami's hands, by carrying out long long long drives. Dorsey had the plays worked out to make that strategy function. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about you but in my normal day job I'm not radioing into my staff on how to smash through our competitor as they try to tackle them and hit each other. Meanwhile people don't buy tickets to watch me work as they cheer and heckle. Comparing pro sports regular day jobs is just such a poor comparison. It's lame. It's not remotely reasonable. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, that tantrum was something I’d expect from a 3-year-old who can’t get their way-not an adult in a high profile profession. That was truly bizarre. Almost as curious was the complete lack of surprise or acknowledgement from the 2 guys next him. They didn’t even glance his direction during the tirade- as if it wasn’t the first time they’d witnessed it. Talk to Tom Brady 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your point about him maybe not getting a head coaching job before this because of mental health concerns is one of the most ill conceived notions I've ever read on this board. You aren't qualified to be making the point you are trying to make because you are either ignorant of his bio or have no common sense. The man has never even been a coordinator. THAT is why he hasn't been given HC opportunities.

And there was a period of time i purposely acted really high strung, stressed, and angry and people took me more serious and actually elevated my role.

If he had it would have been extraordinary. No common sense. Then you doubled down like people misunderstood you. You took a crazy leap in logic suggesting that might be why he hasn't been offered a HC job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
