Denny Green Press Conf.

Herman Edwards gets mad too. This doesn't make them good coaches.

I do like what he said. But I am just saying the best coaches are not always the most vocal.
 
this is the NFL, you shouldn't come un-glued in front of the press

the HC is like VP of a corp, he needs to be in control of his emotions

see Jim Mora
 
No offense, but your not paying attention. Saban certainly looks PO to me after most games, he certainly has yet to go ballistic like Denny, but he also did not just see his team blow a 20pt lead. Also, we don't know how Saban is behind the scenes, but let's not forget that he does take action at times. Like pulling Linehan down to the sidelines last year.

Plus, if yo uhave seen Saban PC, he often likes to keep things behind scenes, or as he says, in the family.

Have you ever seen a Saban PC, he isn't exactly Mr. Friendly all the time with the press, and Denny is rarely that heated.

But it was an interesting reaction from Denny Green, ill be nice to see if the AZ Cardinals respond.

Homeboy was pissed...

I would be disappointed too

Best coaches aren't vocal cause theyre winning. Give any "good coach" that blowup in AZ, see what happens when the media asks them questions like ....so how crushing is this game to team morale?

Jim Mora rocked.
 
Mora was great for everyone, but it was the beginning of the end

Andy Reid is the best, he knows the press is %&*#@ and that they don't know %&*#@ and yet he doesn't care and doesn't feed into it
 
Saban is not a screamer

According to his players, Saban hasn't yelled much, which is probably a good thing. Guys that scream all the time get tuned out quickly. Belicheck apparently never screams. He looks about as emotional as a chess player.
 
He should be steamed at himself for getting conservative early on and trying to run the ball when the Cards were clicking on all cylinders with the pass setting up the run. The game easily could have been 28 - 0 at the half.
 
Thats true. They were killing me. As soon as Az went on top they stopped throwing the ball going 3 and out. I was horrible. Denny should be a little mad at himself too.

Did you see how mad he was after the game. How pissed off he was? That is what I want to see from Saban. Reality!


I'm sorry but Green and the coaching staff deserved to lose that game. All they had going for them by the end was Leinart, and all game long he is moving the ball crisply through the air, so what do they do when they at the end? take it out of his hands and call consecutive running plays (including on 3rd down) figuring they'll just kick it from 40 yards out like that's automatic. Well, in my book, they failed because the coaches should have moved the ball closer to attempt the final field goal and that meant continuing to use and TRUST Leinart instead of Edgerrin (with his what, 2 yards per carry avg?). A complacent coaching staff figures kicking from forty yards out is good enough and settles for that... which actually means risking getting the win on a long kick instead of going with the hot hand and moving the darn ball a little closer (or a lot closer if Leinart connects a few times). That type of ultra conservative crap at the end of games deserves to lose, in my opinion. PLaying not to lose almost always makes a team lose and Denis and his Offensive Coordinator should be pissed at their own ineptitude and complacent play-calling. Why leave it up to a 40 yard kick by a kicker whose nerves already made him miss another clutch game ending kick this season (last season Rackers was great, but that was then, this is now). Rackers has been inconsistent compared to last year so move the ball closer and make it a chip shot.

No team does as poorly as the Cards, NOR as poorly as the Dolphins, without a lot of it being the coaching staff's fault. In the Dolphins case they say the players have been incapable of executing perfectly, but that means the coaches should be drawing up gameplans that do not depend on the players needing perfect execution for the gameplan to work. Some plays (exotic gadgets, less exotic screens, pulling guard plays, traps, long pass patterns) have zero chance of working unless every single thing goes perfectly. Some plays can still succeed ugly, even if the execution is not perfect (power runs, short passes with multiple receiving options and checkdowns, bootlegs, etc.). If you have an O-line that can't block, run more short patterns (3 step drops etc...) THIS much we did figure out but not until week 5 against the Pats and it has helped. Well, more changes obviously need to be made to how we are using the players. If the players have other weaknesses, craft a gameplan to downplay the weaknesses, or change the personnel (such as shuffling the O-line, to some success last week). This gameplanning around player ineptitude is part of why the offense has HAD to be so vanilla til now. Mularkey is trying to help the players succeed despite their performance. Still, the coaches have done too little and too late in terms of putting the players into a position to succeed given the realities of their talents and current execution ability. Coach the players you HAVE not the ones you WISH you had (and I mean strictly in terms of performance and execution, not ability. it's obvious no one on the Dolphins but Welker plays up to their ability. Welker actually exceeds his.)

Overall, with the talent level of this team and the Cards' team, the coaching staffs must be held accountable in the end. They may be trying, but they are both failing.

:shakeno:
 
Its a really fine line that you have to walk. When your pissed you have to be very careful of what you say to get your team to not give up on you. On the same hand if you act positive you have to be careful that your team doesn't just dismiss you. Very fine line to walk, and every player responds to something different.
