Holfresh: Wake up. Isiah has undermined Don, Herb, Lenny and now LB. The coach hired under him if he is worth his salt is not going to cowtow to a guy that just undermined the 3 or 4 coach's previous to them. We don't want a yes man here we want a winner. If Isiah hadn't undermined every coach in site I would agree with you, but this situation is different and now it is getting worse. Now, you won't even be ablet to hire a coach to work under Isiah.
The players are running the show here. In order to win a title you need a captain to run the ship. Until our front office decides that is important and gives that power to the coach you will see coach's fight for it. Lenny and Don did not because they were yes men. In the end they got scr-ewed. NOw you have a guy that likes to do things his way and now he is being undermined as well. Until we change the fans will be screwed as well.
Bottom line: If Zeke did not want LB to come in here and make changes in his vision than he should not have hired him. He hired him to create a buzz, not to create a winner. He wanted you and me to be blinded by the LB light, be ecstatic for a few months so that he could preserve his job. That's the way we do things here. It's not about winning, it's about money and job preservation
If you call making Chaney active both Sweetney and Lampe for Weatherspoon and Harrington. Then applaud his efforts to undermine Chaney. The man was playing players like they just finished playing in the 2nd round of the playoffs. You had to be over 30 for Don Chaney to give you some running time. Just ask Houston about his days in Detroit with Chaney.
dude, who do you think put sweetney on IR? that's a GM decision, not a coach's decision. that was layden, not chaney. chaney did what layden told him - he's a yes man. he's going to play his best players to save his job. layden had him play all the big money guys.
