Daboll is a hothead. The military has a label for leaders like him "He's a screamer" I worked for a few screamers, it was miserable.

 

Remember when Daboll worked the sideline and screamed at Josh--and Josh's numbers were not very good? Josh instantly improved when Daboll moved to the booth. I think McDermott moved Daboll to put a buffer between him and Josh.

 

To the subject at hand: interfering with the medical tent was a spectacularly bad move. WTF was he thinking? He's not going to change the neurologist's mind or speed up the evaluation. Daboll has poor self control, it is his undoing.

I'm gonna take that as sarcasm.

Not at all. If a man wants to do something a man should be able to do something.

If Brady moves on after this season I bet we could get Daboll back as OC… hahaha

I’m always intrigued by this although you might me joking lolll other people have said it without joking though

 

Daboll’s offense even at its max wr talent got locked up by a worse kc defense at times (twice in one year in 2020 even) .  I think a lot of this board really is falling for ‘the grass is greener on the other side’ type thinking 

Daboll had some absolute stinkers against the afc big dogs when in Buffalo 

A realistic name that seems interesting as OC if Brady leaves is Stefanski (if he gets fired). I don’t think we’d want Daboll back even if he was any good which I don’t think he really is haha

I know a player might choose to take a risk in the moment. But often they are a retired player filled with regret years later when their brain turns to putty. They end up complaining and suing the league.* So I, for one, approve of the concussion protocol.

 

 

* some with CTE scrambled brains become walking sociopaths among us like Aaron Hernandez, Junior Seau, or OJ Simpson (I'm convinced OJ had CTE).

I think such lawsuits should be thrown out.

Will be interesting to see how serious they take this. It looked like Daboll was arguing with the independent neurologist on the sideline if Al Michaels correctly pointed him out. If a HC interfered with the protocol, could see fine or maybe even suspension. No matter it was a very bad look for Daboll. 

I dont think I've ever seen another coach or player for that matter enter the medical tent when a player was being evaluated.  

This will probably go as far as Jim Nance, Romo, & the commentating Ref that goes with Nance & Romo to call games pointing out during their call of the Bills - Chiefs game of those bad penalty calls  that everybody but the refs saw & the bad ball placement in that game .

Yes Dabol should be fined. No way he should be interfering with tent assessment. On the other hand with his job probably on the line and after seeing that pathetic Wilson pass attempt, I can understand his desperation!!

We don't know the whole story.aybe dart was saying he is fine and the independent neurologist in order to continue his work decided he should weigh in and make himself relevant. 

 

Occam's shaver... If you have a job you need to show that you do your job to keep it... Cuz think of the safety.

Don't forget it could also be Schrödinger puppy. When he's in the medical tent, we don't know if he's fine or if he's dead.

DB is such a bag of shower man.

 

Didn't he hit the zempic and lose weight before?  He's back up to his chubby biggest.  Not a man with self control

Maybe I’m missing something.  What, exactly, interference was he responsible for?   He ran to the tent and poked his head inside.  That means he could be interfering.  He could also be asking “how’s he doing?”

 

If the point is he shouldn’t go there because people could assume the worst, I’ll agree.  If the accusation is he’s bad, dumb, unconcerned or trying to influence, i’ll need to see more evidence.

NFL doesnt investigate "how's he doing?"
