Would you want this kind of coach?

Arians calls out players by name in press conference

 

Quote

Via Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic, Arians aired out a few guys during his post-mortem press conference.

His targets included first-round pick Robert Nkemdiche, whose performance Arians described as “poor.”

“He jumped offside when they weren’t even set on a big third down,” Arians said. “Other than that, he was not a factor.”

Regarding cornerback Justin Bethel, who has been dealing with a foot injury, Arians said: “Justin has to decide if he’s going to play with that foot. He was just an average spectator in special teams, missed two tackles. If he’s going to play, he needs to play better or he shouldn’t play.”

But perhaps the best was his scolding of the choreographed dance penalty, after Chandler Jones‘ celebration was joined by safety D.J. Swearinger.

“One of the things that has not happened around here will not happen again – or you won’t be here,” the coach said.

Of course, they’re not going to cut Jones after trading a second-round pick for a pass-rusher, so it ought to serve as notice to Swearinger.

But the way Arians was calling guys out after the loss, there are plenty of guys who should be on notice as well.

 

Passionate coaching or an absolute no-no?

Would you want to see Ron Rivera throwing players under the bus like this?

[Jon Snow]

Arians is a big windbag.  He's overrated and full of poo so no I do not want Ron to be like that fat turd.

[Darth Biscuit]

Certainly a good way to get your players to hate you.

 

Pretty much the opposite of Rivera.

90% here thought he was Jesus......until they didn't.

Trying to deflect blame....

But, but, his cool hat.  Seriously, screw that guy and those overrated shitbirds.          

[Jmac]

But...but.... he wears that hat

[CarolinaSunday]

Brutal.  I would want the coach to call them out privately but I don't think airing dirty laundry in public is very conducive to team unity.  

[KSpan]

I think there's a time, a place, and a way to do it but this is none of those. Arians let his emotions get away form him.

[csx]

To his credit he won with Andrew Luck

[Malt Liquor]

No. It's possible that he might lose that locker room and it's downhill from there.

[KillaCamNewton]

he's an assclown. living in scottsdale right now is unbearable listening to their fans all week talking about the super bowl like it was a done deal. they were real quiet yesterday after they failed to beat the new england jv team. mustve forgot that carson palmer is still their QB

[uncfan888]

Here's the million dollar question..  Do we want Tampa to beat them this weekend? Tampa starting 2-0 and Arizona starting 0-2 would be crazy. I know we usually want division teams to always lose, but I feel like we'll still overtake Tampa and we need Arizona to lose games
