About what I wonder?

Sometimes my boss and I don't agree. Story at 11

Hey a Boss has to be a boss sometimes & in todays very sensitive world in which we live does this really surprise any one that there is a few people that could be whining because they have their boss telling them to get off their a** & do their job or change how they are doing it to what he wants ?

 

I think not & i'd say given the way the team has been going keep up the good work McD & let the wimps fall to the way side & go work for someone else !

 

If you don't like the heat get out of the kitchen !!

I talked to Josh Reed's significant other, and they said Josh better generate some clicks, or he'll be sleeping under an overpass. 🤨

Is that what McD is saying to his staff that led to this tweet?  got a link for that?

 

Maybe they just think he's a strategic disaster who is ready to hint it was someone else's fault at the first opportunity.

Find a team, church, business, military unit, or household that does not have some level of "friction."

[HereComesTheReignAgain]

So, some anonymous people at the combine are saying that there is a normal amount of friction between McDermott and staff.  If it is not unusual, why is it a story?

I don't know if that is what he said i was just speculating that because of the sensitive nature of people today that that could be what happened .

 

No i don't have a link & I'm not a tweeter sorry ...

“You preach accountability,” one player said. “But you don’t practice it.”

So, McD doesn't surround himself with "Yes men" and it leads to some friction. BFD.

lol, nice post...  Calling someone out for conjecture and then following with your own...

McDermott is really stubborn about his ways, the players he wants etc. I could see people finding him a pain in the ass to work with. 

 

As long as they win a SB, who cares. 

 

If it starts driving players away that's an issue.

Yeah, NFL coaching staffs are famous for harboring wilting flowers and fragile snowflakes.

 

Anyway, you speculated wrong--see below:

It's an emotional game and a long and draining season. Couple that with high expectations and missed opportunities and it's not always going to be rosy in paradise. Some people handle this more gracefully than others. If there were "real" issues or ones that were setting us back, it wouldn't be afterthought or footnote tweet. It would be "THE" story.

Does anyone else find stories that are completely based on anonymous quotes really annoying?  You can say anything that you want, and simply state that you have sources that didn't want to be named.

Today's very sensitive world? Well, when you have people in power who have been abusing it for countless decades that's not leadership. You using the words "very sensitive" and "whining" seems like someone who is triggered and in fact is just as very sensitive as these supposed people you refer to. You can't whine about "whiners" in a situation which you know none of the details and then expect anyone to take you seriously.

See above.  players will tell you it's not conjecture.  He clearly blamed their "execution" for the collapse.

Only if you are one of those people who believe that reporters simply make up quotes and stories such as these.

So, because McD didn't come out and put everyone at fault on full blast in the media...more "nameless players" feel he's not practicing accountability? Of course had he done that the same "nameless player" might say he's throwing guys under the bus and airing dirty laundry.

 

BTW, as far as holding people accountable...where is the ST Coordinator now? Oh right...gone. Allowed to look for other opportunities. Or if the guys contract was up...he wasn't retained. Seems accountability may have happened.
