"I had my entire coaching staff from college." -Jimmy Johnson on Urban Meyer

Came across an article about Jimmy Johnson commenting on his buddy Urban Meyer's situation after finishing one where Rex Ryan absolutely dragged him, and came across the interesting bit:

Quote

“Going to Jacksonville, just like when I went to Dallas, you knew you were gonna lose, you’re gonna have adversity,” said Johnson, whose resume includes a successful transition from coaching at the college level in Miami to the NFL with the Cowboys.

“The difference is, in Dallas, I had my entire coaching staff from college. I had my administrative assistant, I had my P.R. director, I had my trainer. We were all on the same page when we had adversity. He didn’t have that in Jacksonville. There was a lot of backstabbing, one thing or the other, because he didn’t have his people.”

If you're interested in the full article, you can check it out here.

Rhule has his people, yet the only page that they all seem to be on is that anybody not part of their Mean Girls clique gets thrown under any and every bus that rolls by. -_-

This was also 32-years ago when Jimmy went to Dallas. The NFL has changed a lot since then. And yes, Rhule is no comparison to Jimmy. 

Yeah, back when 2 teams lined up and slammed into each other for 3 hours.  Damn good fun, too.

Defenses could actually be intimidating instead of looking for flags.

You walked into a HoF WR Michael Irvin who was drafted the year before you got there by Landry, and you tried to trade him before Al Davis talked you out of it. Ken Norton Jr was already on the roster. Nate Newton, Kevin Gogan and Mark Tuinei already anchored an OL for you before you arrived because of Herschel Walker. You had Herschel Walker on the roster to get the picks needed to load your roster with Emmitt Smith, Darren Woodson, Kevin Smith, and Russell Maryland... and you picked very well. You signed a vet TE for Aikman in Jay Novacek. You drafted Daryl Johnston and Alvin Harper to compliment the offense. You filled the OL with Mark Stepnoski and Erik Williams in your early draft classes. Let's not forget you had to replace your OC and bring in Norv Turner with pro coaching experience to make your offensive talent work.

 

If Rhule had done half of what you did in his first 2 seasons, I would have a different opinion and hope. What you did Jimmy is closer to what Rivera did when he was a new HC in the NFL.

It also helped you did not have to deal with free agency under the CBA until after your success. You actually ran away as fast as you could before free agency started picking your team apart. We all know how well it went in Miami when you had to deal with free agency.

You could almost buy a championship back then.  The NFL was also a much slower game and coaches got more time.  Everybody knows the story of Dallas sucking out loud for the first few seasons Johnson and Aikman were there.

I remember some dude who got drafted by the Bucs back in the 80s talking about how his high school had a better weight room than Tampa Bay.  Also that he got a game ball on Sunday and then a bill in his locker for $50 on Monday.

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
