DJ: You and me are on the same page. It's all common sense. If Isiah was going to build a young, fast, undisciplined team that can win games than he needed to get a coach that could get the most out of that type of team. If you hire a guy like LB you let him do his thing. You don't force him to coach YOUR GUYS. LB is a disciplinarian and needs his type of players. So if you hire him you get him HIS GUYS. You don't approve EVERY TRADE he wants because that's ridiculous. But you do create a team that fits HIS VISION.
But Isiah made that hire to create a buzz. That is all. It was another pawn in order to create a buzz in NY to deflect attention long enough so that he could make another move and hope to get lucky when some malcontent re-invents himself. Now the fan wrath is upon LB. He is the next logical person to go and Isiah has once again bought himself another day to get lucky. Layden followed this method as well. Why? because our structure forces them to act this way. I don't blame them, but I hope the next coach will be able to finally change this culture so we can get out from under it.
the thinking process is so warped. i felt so bad for chaney when he was court marshalled out. i mean, show some dignity in how you run your business. be a f'n professional. a story leaked, and the team didn't say a word and the next thing we saw was chaney with security. this past sunday, a story leaked, and the team still hasn't said a word (and it's 11 days later). fans are going crazy speculating and the media is twisting and distorting anything and everything just so they can print something. the more things change, the more they stay the same.
