Rubes Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 I've heard time and again that players -- current, past, even those on other teams -- just think the world of this guy. How many different players have talked about how they would love to play for this guy? I've been quite impressed at the amount of loyalty he seems to inspire in players. Can anyone recall hearing the same about Mularkey? Before or after he was in Buffalo?

As in, he tolerates a lack of committment to winning.

He seems like the kind of guy who will accept less from a player before he'll insist on excellence. I don't know the guy personally, and I hope I'm wrong, but I think the coach needs to set expectations for the players and then hold them to that. If they don't meet them, then you give the next guy on the list a shot. I think it's clear that Mularkey was in over his head even more than Greggo was....we need someone who can take control of this team, make good decisions, and have that translate into a team that is disciplined and successful.

Rubes Posted April 24, 2006 Author Posted April 24, 2006 Somehow I knew you guys could turn that into a negative.
Kelly the Dog Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Unfortunately, the maxim "Nice guys finish last" was the first thing that popped into my mind. I am very prepared to be proven wrong about Jauron, but there isn't really a lot to go on from that. The fact that players like or love to play for him usually centers around being treated as men, being respected as men, and having open communication. It has zero to do with ability as a coach or learning or performance.
Peter Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 I am starting to feel better and better about Jauron. I was initially disappointed. Right now, I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and see how it goes.
IDBillzFan Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 I suggest a good project for today would be to list all the coaches who had a reputation as being a coach for whom guys loved to play. I'll start first: Tony Dungy.

BUFFALOTONE Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 Wasnt Jauron the coach of the year in 01-or 02 with da bears. I believe it was when they were remodeling soldier field.
