Such a salesman.

My sentiments exactly. I had a friend say how he felt he was a snake oil salesman from day one. So he says " I still watch film like all great coaches I've known when they get fired do, to see what I could've done better". The host asks so what is that. This is why he has no credibility amongst the fanbase, I feel like his speeches fell on deaf ears, and  he lacked credibility with our players. He instantly is like "Ummmm, that's a good question" caught completely off guard like a kid bullshitting elaborating on a homework assignment they didn't do and stutters through some malarkey about player relationships. C'mon man, you look at film to see how you could have had better relationships with the players! No wonder everybody checked out but the dudes that played at Baylor and Temple.

Got around to seeing clips; man this dude is really high on himself.  I get he's trying to sell his abilities but he really doesn't take the right angles.  If I were in his boat, I'd position myself filled with humility and taking lessons learned.  What he admitted when he was asked about what he would do different was such a bad answer.  I always felt that he had basically no relationship with our best players and he pretty much admitted to it.  You just never saw CMC, Moore, or our top talent actually back him up or speak of him like they did Ron.  And then Matt is like, yep, I didn't really talk to them much, finally did after a few years.  

And meanwhile, he's still acting like he's got some type of secrete sauce.  Such a salesman.

All right, this is weird...

Those quotes bear a lot of similarity to what was said in the Charles Robinson article.

It wouldn't exactly be shocking to find out he read an article about himself, but to turn around and quote or paraphrase things that were in it would be kind of 🤔

He's NOW throwing covid under the bus!

You know, his persona is something Ive seen many times. I just never cared before to look up where he was raised. Sure enough I was right. He was born and raised in NY and Pennsylvania. He`s a god damn Yankee. I work around many different people that work in the trade field. Every time someone throws around about how much they know and how smart they are, it is always bullshit and just about every time they came down from the North or New England states. Yeah you can never trust what they say and when it comes right down to it, they suck at their job and dont know what they are doing. Someone always has to go behind them and fix their mess.

The fact that this is his answer to lWhat would you do differently” make me dislike him even more. 
I haven’t watched the clips because I don’t want to hear that idiots voice. 
But from the comments and tweets I read it seems like he doesn’t think he did anything wrong on the football side. 
Getting to know your players isn’t going to win games. Rhules problems were from how he coached and built the team.

It sounds like something that, if you are an AD at a major program, it will give you a pause about him.  Everybody tries and fails at things.  As long as they take something away from the failure that makes them better and helps reduce the likelihood of another failure, that is grown.  He failed at moving to a level that many good college coaches before him have failed.  The fact that he didn't own up to learning anything beyond BS, sounded like BS, could close some doors for him.  He didn't grow, at least that he would admit.

Geez, guy, act like a normal human being, not some guy on the tube at 1:30am doing an infomercial.

    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning. 
    • I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
