In order to regain some success in the coming seasons...

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

Fans almost universally want some Tourette's afflicted press conference screamer like Jim Mora or a poo talker like Rex Ryan because they think he has "swagger". People naturally want blood after a shitty game and there are few things less satisfying than a few token cliches chucked out in a press conference. Life goes on.

Meanwhile quiet pussy Tony Dungy polishes his Lombardi trophy and waits for his Hall of Fame blazer.

Yeah we don't have the personnel now but even if we do get the personnel we have to have someone who knows how to use it properly. When I say "fire" I'm not talking about a hot head like Rex Ryan but someone to motivate players. Tony Dungy wasn't a media ***** but he was smart with his players and knew how to handle them.

Tony Dungy is Mr. Rodgers plain and simple.

It could easily be argued that Dungy underachieved in the playoffs.

Yes, he is a great coach and good team builder. Yet he only won 1 Super Bowl with arguably the greatest QB to ever play...

(they beat the Grossman led Bears at that)

And it took another coach to win with his team in Tampa.

Dungy was too soft IMO.

He may have been soft but he still has one more title than a lot of more boisterous coaches.

The way I look at it, a coach's success depends a lot on whether his style resonates with the players. I remember reading that Mike Maser's style wasn't getting it done anymore around the time Magazu showed up, for instance. This is probably the most obvious concept in the world, but it doesn't jive well with the idea that a coach who shoots his mouth off to the media and shows "passion" and "fire" has a sure or even better than average shot at lasting success.

Overall I agree, I am just saying Dungy in particular should have won more.

He was 9-10 in the playoffs. He knew how to get there, but struggled in big games.

It's anybody's guess really. He's sure as hell being lionized now but I remember him being run out of Tampa and the natives getting quite restless in Indy at points.

Sweet, then bring in some guy to build the team into an awesome, consistent playoff contender, and then let some jerk replace him after that. Guaranteed Superbowl.

The most successful coach in the league right now is a guy whose press conferences remind you of a backward high school nerd fumbling for a good way to ask the head cheerleader out on a date.

I think Bill just thinks its a waste of time and he feels that he doesn't have to or need to try to explain himself to the "underlings" who are beneath him.

Lets face it, we need a coach that commands the respect of JR and the players.I think JR and his mgmt flunkies will have the tendency to get too involved in personal decisions....so a coach that has been there done that will be more likely to succeed than a guy that is a rising star.To use one of Parcells analogies a head coach is like a chef ..if you are going to hold a chef accountable for how the dish turns out then he needs to be able to pick out the ingredients.

[Cavscout]

JR wants a 'yes man' as a head coach. Someone who will stay within the bounds of his philosophies.

This is part of the main reason we need the opposite... This year has evidenced what JR has in mind just doesn't work...

That is our biggest problem.
