  • I love Mangini right now. After a poor day of practice, Mary Kay asked him if it was time in training camp for they players to get a break from the tough practices and something like some sort of comic relief to loosen up the atmosphere...

    Mangini said the players can watch the tape of practice if they want comic relief.

    Or watch the Packer game.

    Awesome response by the coach.

  • Wow, Ryan is as stacked as Tim Tebow's girlfriend.

    To the point of the article, it makes some sense to me. There's being professional and organized, and there's micromanaging. It's not written anywhere that you have to micromanage players' lives to get the most out of them. And I don't buy the "after RAC, the players need to be micromanaged" argument. They're football players, not dogs or children.

    Some coaches can pull of the authoritarian thing (Belichick in New England, Coughlin in New York), while it fails for others (Belichick in Cleveland, Parcells in Dallas). The problem that can easily arise is that if things don't get turned around quickly, by around halfway through next year players should start thinking, "Wait a minute...we're just as bad as we were two years ago, and we should listen to this tool yelling at us...why?"

    One thing worth noting is that Coughlin changed his approach during the Giants' Super Bowl season. He created a leadership committee to get feedback from the players, which helped him ease up when necessary and keep the locker room reasonably happy.

    That said, he still was a dictator, albeit a more benevolent one.

    Coughlin is an ahole's ahole IMO. He may have gotten somewhat better over time but I remember living down in Gainseville when he was coaching Jax. He was such a little Patton wannabe that he wouldn't even let his coaches wear sunglasses out in the sun and heat of camp.

    I just never liked the guy. He was on his way out big time before the Giants turned it around and got it done, but they did have a ton of talent.

    You can be a strict, hardcore coach without being a dick.

  • Well, well, well. I wonder how much fun the J-E-T-S are having tonight?

    Little bit different playing the Ravens isn't it? Lotta long faces over there on the sidelines. Funny, but they looked like drunken frat guys last week against St. Louis. This week, not so much.

    Watching Sanchez absolutely shart his pants is enjoyable simply because after one pass last week they think he's Joe freakin' Namath.

    Love to see how the NY writers take to this story while they're all munchin' on their anti-Mangini sh*tburger.
