See Harbaugh lock room speech?

I want to say again how absurd the Walsh comparison is. Walsh was a flat, emotionless guy? That's hysterical.

When Dwight Clark was asked years later about 'the catch,' his first recollection was of Bill Walsh jumping up and down in the locker room after the game.

Because I don't agree with the original post, doesn't mean I have a poster of Joe Philbin on my wall.No where did I bring up Philbin in my first response.:up:
 
This is how Shula laid the law and one small example

Most probably heard this.

Practice started one day years back under Shula and once it started all the doors and gates were locked.So the late player jumped the fence and Shula caught eye of the late player and pulled him a side and cut him on the spot and Shula knew everything was still locked and Shoo's said you can leave the same way you got in here.

Players respected Shula and he didn't need to raise his voice.He saved that for out on the field for the players and refs.Both on practice and game day.

How then do you make sense of Bill Belichick's achievement of a dynasty?

He has a great pulse for his locker room and I have seen videos of his speeches before and he sure isn't Mr. Roboto reading off cards guy. He also knows what he needs in the locker room to have the players jacked up on game day. He doesnt look for robots. Its like Parcells when he was coaching. He wasn't go crazy all the time guy like Harbaugh. but he sure wasn't Philbin.
 
I know different styles have won in the NFL. Tony Dungy wasn't that fiery leader, neither was Tom Landry. They both won big in the NFL, Landry after six straight losing seasons to start his career, Dungy after being fired from Tampa Bay after building some awesome talent there.

But, I became a Dolphins fan when I watched how the team fought to win games. The passion was so obvious. Of course Don Shula's don't grow on trees, but I think the Dolphins need to bring in someone with that kind of fire --- Bill Cowher and Jon Gruden come to mind. I'm not sure about up and coming guys, some talk about the Auburn coach.

I think it would probably be pretty easy for someone to frame a behavior of Belichick's as a "winning" one, given his history, while framing the same behavior exhibited by Philbin, given his lack of the same history, as something else.

In other words, the "halo" effect for Belichick, whereas the ambiguity in Philbin's behavior is going to be resolved in the direction of one's overall opinion of him (positive or negative).
 
Harbaugh should be excited after covering the spread by half a point. I was thrilled for him.

Actually the books had to hate that game. It was -2.5 early in the week then drifted up to -3. Nobody should have lost on either side of that game if they had any line movement instincts at all. There were some joints that risked +3.5 and got burned when it fell 3, including the major offshore site 5 Dimes. I was shocked when they went off 3 up to 3.5. Most spots continued to take 49ers money at -3 but moved the juice to -125 or -130, astutely refusing to move up to -3.5

My YPPA Differential system went 2-1, with wins on the Saints +3 and 49ers -2.5 along with a lopsided loss on Bengals -6.5. No play on Colts/Chiefs.

The aspect I don't appreciate is that the teams I am betting against have good quarterbacks. This weekend I opposed Foles, Rivers and Rodgers. Not fun. When I designed this system and researched it, it was intended to oppose weaker quarterbacks. But many of the teams have lousy pass defense, which equates to weak YPPA Differential. Frankly, I would have preferred to give the points with Cincinnati today against the Dolphins and not the Chargers. Miami had a YPPA Differential of -.6 compared to San Diego at +.4

I tend to think it will be resolved after his third year if his Qb doesnt take it to the next level.

Can you stick this on a cue card and submit it to Philbin for his next post game speech.
 
Nobody knows how Philbin treats his players when they are not on the field. he could be a real hard ass for all we know. Everybody is going off of conjecture and what happened the last two games and it doesn't mean anything going.

People say he does nothing on the sidelines except stare into space and he doesn't have any fire which is bull. I've seen him rip into refs and I've seen him talk to the players on the sideline to try and pump them up so lets stop that.

When the team stops playing for him then I will worry until that point just tune out the noise.

If anyone thinks this type of fire and passion doesn't make a difference, I'm sorry for you. This is the type of fire and determination I played and coached with. It is VERY contagious. It really makes a significant difference.

So all losing teams have soft spoken wimps as coaches and all winning teams have guys that break 4x4s over their head and yell at 200 decibels?

I just saw the post-game speech as my DVR caught up. I'd rather have this here below than what the 49ers had in that clip. Notice how Cowher's message is short and sweet, and he then makes way for the player leaders, who are of his personality ilk, to provide the emotion and inspiration:

Don't know wtf he was talking about but they seemed to be having fun.
