And here I thought Dansby played a completely different position than Wheeler. Boy was I mistaken.:rolleyes2:
The trouble with Philbin is he thinks he's coaching in the late 1960's and he's taking on a Vince Lombardi "no nonsense" attitude". I genuinely believe he is a good X's and O's head coach but he is not a born leader. He's an emotionless robot on the sideline. Look at the successful coaches over the last few years.... Jim Harbough, John Harbough, Pete Carrol, Tom Coughlin, Sean Payton, Belichick etc.... these guys are leaders and even though some of them have won superbowls and others haven't their players constantly play tough for them and they feed off of their coaches enthusiasm on the sideline. The camera pans to Philbin on the sideline and if you didn't know the score you would have no idea if they were up by 20 or down by 20... you get nothing. People have commented on his post game locker room speeches and I can honestly say they were very scripted and very awkward.... it should just flow with emotion but it doesn't. You shouldn't need a coach to fire up his players but again this isn't 1967 anymore and today's athletes are not the same as they were 40 years ago.... Philbin needs to adapt or he's going to have a short carer as a head coach.
