Sean McDermott interview


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Latest vid on Panthers.com: Not Sitting Back

Observations:

Shares Rivera's view that the defense should dictate to the offense, not just react.

Gets an evil little twinkle in his eye when he talks about attacking.

Video software they're using to review game footage has an XBox style controller.

T-Shirt and Jeans guy where Rivera looks to always be in a suit.

Most interesting part for me: Said he believes not just in putting pressure on opposing offenses, but in running the defense in such a way that it puts pressure on the offensive coordinators calling the plays on the other side. That's pure Jim Johnson philosophy there.

Makes me think back to the '09 home opener, Davidson was so outmatched it was pathetic

seems to me that McDermott won't be the only Carolina coach that will be a hot commodity in a few years. Rivera is hiring young, ambitious coaches that want to climb the ladder. and just maybe he is giving them the freedom and expecting the kind of success they need to do just that.

    • T-Mac is a nickname, Tet is a shortening of Tetairoa. Like you said below... your name is Jonathan, I could see "Jonny" being considered a nickname, but Jon isn't a nickname, it's a shortening of Johnathan, see the difference? And if your mom named you Jonathan for it's biblical significance/meaning, because she was very religious, I think it would be different. T-Mac is Polynesian, so much in their culture has deeper meaning for them, particularly names.  So for his mom to feel this way, I highly doubt it's just because she likes the name Tetairoa and not Tet, it's much more likely than not to be because the name itself has a deeper meaning in their culture.   Particularly as T-Mac himself has often talked about how much his Polynesian heritage means to himself and his family. And no, I'm not saying all this because of how much he's my guy, if he was just "normal american" and his name was Jonathan and he didn't like fans calling him Jon, I'd probably just say tough poo.  It's that he's Polynesian and I know things like names have a much deeper meaning in their culture than they do in ours for the most part. For whatever it's worth, a quick google search.......
