Thought this was interesting.  First it's on the Panthers and secondly its from the Wall Street Journal of all places. I don't know how different the Panther's locker room is from other teams, but I suspect it depends upon whether their coaches ever played in the NFL.  Also gives me a glimpse of locker room dynamics.  Sounds like D-Will was a good presence for the most part.

I don't like this. Players aren't supposed to be buddy-buddy with the coach. Was Ditka buddy-buddy with his players? The playersr should be intimidated by their coach.

When he coached the Cowboys, Jimmy Johnson would sometimes cut a guy just to prove a point to the guy. He was an asshole around his team. They were scared and had to toughen up.

But when the Cowboys won two Super Bowl titles, they carried him off the field. They loved him for it.

If this article is true, how is a player supposed to show discipline the coach is hamming it up and talking about puppies? Would Parcells do this? Would Bill Belichick? Did Bill O'Brien do that during Hard Knocks?

 

You are trying too hard and it is not even thinly veiled anymore.  Your John Kilgo act ain't cutting it.

I repeat, that was a good article, very well written. 

Anyone that thinks Ron can't be a disciplinarian, when warranted, has not watched, even casually a Panthers game since Ron got here.

Now that I think of it, I think I am going to go over to hawksnest.com and register as RahRahSeattle and see if I can get the same reaction.

While I'm not the biggest fan of it myself, it does make Ron a well-liked coach. In turn, his players are ready to march to the gates of hell for him. It's a similar philosophy that my former boss took. She could have been a total dick but she was a sweet heart on most days and she genuinely cared about her staff. We rallied behind her everyday and busted our asses for her.

was she hawt?

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
