bleedinblue Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 ....said he was deeply affected by the firing of Donahoe and that this season exacted a physical and mental toll. Add mental toughness and a thick skin to the list of HC attributes that MM does not have. If he can't handle fan and media criticism then he is right to get out of the business of being a head coach in the NFL, that just comes with the job.

Alaska Darin Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Absorbing criticism from millions is easier said than done . . . 563727[/snapback] It's part of the job and Mularkey should have known that going in. I'm not excusing the lack of class that is regularly shown by "fans", either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I know, I know . . . there is always criticism with every high profile job. I'm not saying that doesn't exist, because that would be foolish. I just . . . I don't know. For some reason I feel sorry for the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 It's not like he's been an active participant on the fan boards. He works 15hr. days, mostly with his team. How's he getting tons of crap from millions of people? Maybe he doesn't even read the papers. Fer crying out loud, there are about 5-6 other openings for HC right now. And, there are about 8 staffs that have to be assembled around the league. That's a lot of ring-around-the rosy that's going to take place in the next month or two. Maybe somebody gave him an offer. Maybe he's just a quitter like Herm Edwards. Maybe he doesn't have a big list of candidates like old Greg Williams did. At this point it's better for Marv to flush this toilet at OBD and get a fresh bowl to work with. This one really stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was essentially coming back as a lame-duck coach with a previous hall-of-fame coach looking over his shoulder. Who is going to want to come to Buffalo as a free agent or a hot up and coming coaching talent? NOBODY! I think this could have and should have been prevented in the first place by firing everyone and starting over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Funny, a few days after Marv was named GM, or whatever the hell he is, I had this fantasy/daydream, that he did an about face, like Dan Marino, and resigned.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
