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?

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
