If you look at my tag line, I pretty much own up to not being much of a speller, especially when I'm sneaking in time here on FH instead of doing whatever I was supposed to be doing. But thanks for the "losing" correction.
As for the rest of your response,
A) I didn't say Gase or HC's were necessarily tyrants, although many are. If you look at thread and my response to it, I very clearly pointed out that Gase made his decisions after a year and a half and that is anything *but* being a head case tyrant like the coaches of yesteryear. My position on the Landry, Ajayi trades is that it reflects he waited too long and put up with too much individualism (a.k.a freelancing, wrong routes, poor mastery of the playbook, etc.) over team. I think all the changes throughout the organization -- the significant shake up of both coaches and players -- reflect the fact that he knows he has a season, maybe two, to make this team look like a consistent playoff contender or he's out. There is a balance between being a "players coach" (partnership) and being a tyrant. Being out of kilter on either side sets the team up to fail in the long run.
B) Your response is inconsistent within itself. The top part of your response talks about how coaches have had to change to be in a 'so called partnership' with their players and the last part of your response was how one of the most tyrannical old schoolers (maybe because he's one of the last old schoolers around these days other than BB?), Coughlin, only *moderately* changed his spots. Hell, Coughlin was famous for fining players for showing up to team meetings *on time* and he started his very first press conference with the Jags 5 minutes early.
