LB Jaelen Phillips Interview on Fish Tank: Easy to rally behind Coach McDaniel.

[Hoot]

Thoughts on Mike McDaniel:

"He brings that aura of energy and youth about him. He is very serious about his craft. He is a super intellectual and analytical guy, and that is something I can appreciate. But you know, most importantly for me, it's important to be able to relate to your coach on a personal level. Coach McDaniel asks me about my family, my life, we're chopping it up, not even about football. When it comes down to the nitty gritty, it's easier to rally behind a coach like that."

He's a very articulate young man. And, he was surprisingly candid about his journey. Great stuff! I'm hoping he has a monster year.

JP15 has life figured out at 22...I got him covered by like 10 years and I'm taking his advice.

Great kid. Great interview.

That’s cool and all…as long as coach can put ‘em through some growth-springing adversity as well. Nobody gets stronger on easy street.

The man certainly has his head on straight, very impressed. I hope this season and his entire career turns out hall of fame worthy

 

[Goonies]

love Phillips, thats the kind of young man I can cheer for. waddle, holland and Phillips best draft class in over 30 yrs.

 

[TraderJoe]

What an impressive young man.

Loved the “Mud Brothers” comment.

i really feel mcdaniel could be a new type of archetype in the nfl. Having more contact with my nephew's millenial generation, pretty clear the younger folks respond differently to hierarchy and structure and what they respect. Really adds a new dimension to the fan experience to see a new type of coach grow his wings

Unranked to #1 in the NATION after 1 YEAR? Unreal, J.Phillips!
