thebug Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Kubiak is a younger guy. 52 I think they said.
Sig1Hunter Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Hopefully not a pulmonary embolism, but that was my first thought. Sudden onset of extreme pain, made worse by sitting up usually.
Captain Hindsight Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Kidney stones is my guess Can I ask why you say that?
NoSaint Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) Honestly, collinsworths 7am to 7pm idea (ie close doors to all staff overnight) would be nice, if remotely enforceable. It's depressing the volume of issues these guys have. They'd never slow down though. In the last 2 years Sean Payton has a divorce, Andy Reid lost a son, philbin lost a son, foxs stuff this week, Kubiak just collapsed, jim harbaugh went into the hospital last year, mike smith was hospitalized -- and that's ignoring pagano -- and just who I remember offhand..... Just seems like these guys could use some more low stress time with families. Edited November 4, 2013 by NoSaint

TheFunPolice Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 honest question: do you really NEED that much preparation time for a football game?
Tcali Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 honest question: do you really NEED that much preparation time for a football game? good question. the answer is NO. sometimes i think these teams are overcoached so much that they freeze up out on the field.
NoSaint Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) honest question: do you really NEED that much preparation time for a football game? I guess the honest retort would be- if you found out your staff was dedicating 30% fewer hours to each week than anyone else would you be upset the first time they lost? In a game designed for parity you have to struggle for every inch you can get on the field. It's one of the few unregulated areas to seek that tiny edge. Can't spend more, can't practice more but you can burn your own candle on both ends and in the middle trying to find anything you can. Whats a shame is it is just a game - but when your the head coach with millions in pressure - it's not just a game anymore.... Kind of like a player being willing (or even be desperate to be able to) play hurt. The two areas that always leave me uncomfortable being a fan of the game, as it stops being a game.

jr1 Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 It takes so long to be ready for a head coaching job but by the time you reach that age you're in the cardiovascular danger zone
BuffaloBillsForever Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Just seems like these guys could use some more low stress time with families. Just like anyone else that works in this world.
NoSaint Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 Just like anyone else that works in this world. Yea - but especially nfl head coaches.
BuffaloBillsForever Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) Yea - but especially nfl head coaches. You really don't know that nor the stresses that other people experience with their jobs. Edited November 4, 2013 by BuffaloBillsForever
NoSaint Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) You really don't know that nor the stresses that other people experience with their jobs. I'm not saying you, or anyone else reading, doesn't have a high stress job - I agree we'd all benefit from more quality time - but few of us are working 100 hour weeks and answer to millions of people publicly. That doesn't mean I think they are the 32 most stressed men in America, but they are certainly extended well beyond what's healthy in nearly 100% of cases. Edited November 4, 2013 by NoSaint
BuffaloBillsForever Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) but few of us are working 100 hour weeks and answer to millions of people publicly. This is nonsense. You can only speculate how many hours they put in and how stress full their job is to other professions. Is a prosecutor that works night and day, having to carry a gun around all the time because they are getting death threats not as stress full as speaking to the media? There are a lot of factors involved in "stress" in all professions. Edited November 4, 2013 by BuffaloBillsForever
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 I remember Steve spurrier was ridiculed when he went to the redsjkins and said he was going to work 9-5 workday.

There are a lot of factors involved in "stress" in all professions. I'm not sure why you are making this argument. I haven't disagreed that many other jobs are stressful. Many are even more stressful than nfl head coach. If you want to go to off the wall or PPP and discuss workplace stress, have at it. If you want to argue that the lifestyle of an nfl head coach is healthy or generally not overworked, have at it here.

There are a lot of factors involved in "stress". I'm pretty sure NoSaint was only talking about NFL Head Coaches. I dont think an argument can be made that they dont spend too much of themselves at work. But, this does nothing to belittle the stresses a prosecutor endures. In the end, the job is their choice. They know what it involves, and they know the personal risks involved. Praying for Coach Kubiak.
PastaJoe Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Given the millions that NFL coaches are paid, unlike most people, they could quit after a couple years and coach a local high school team and still be financially set for life. They choose to have a stressful job.
