I understand when you take over something, you like to implement your own philosophy, put you finger print on it ect. ( I'm in the Air Force and see it time and time again when you a new person in charge. Even if you just got an outstanding evaluation). I think you can look at dallas, when Bill took over, on how to do things. He knew the people he had when he took over in dallas wasn't a good fit for the 3-4 he always implement. They were geared more for 4-3. So he ran the 4-3. They went to playoffs that year. In the off season, bill added more players that fit his style then were able have a smooth transition. I didn't want to say it since he's the coach of my favorite team. But DAMN. Every time they show Mangini running, it looks as if tits are bouncing. He's hard on the players about their conditioning, he can stand some gym time himself.
Obviously two separate subjects. Two threads need be introduced: 1) Wrong people for 3-4? 2) Does Mangini need a bra? I can't answer the first one but the answer behind door #2 is no. Instead of a bra he needs to be introduced to Richard Simmons' "Twist and Shout" Workouts.
They took after Parcells, all of them... Belichick, Crennel, Weis and Mangini all have some bigger than normal sized chest...
He doesn't need a bra, he just needs to wear shirts that don't show off his manboobs. Try a sweatshirt, Eric, because the satin polos aren't working for you.
lol Players tend to listen to fat coaches.. ie: Andy ried,john madden,Mike holmgrin. if mangini can have any of these guys success Eat what ever the hell u want.
I know they took after Parcells. My point is, Parcells utilized what he had at the time. He did what would best for what he had. He didn't try to put them in positions they weren't good at. He change the scheme once he got the players that was a good fit. I think next offseason man-boobs will get his type of players and things wont be as bad.
I'm sick of listening to these stupid posters that think they are somehow more qualified than an NFL coach on deciding what philosophy to use and how. We used mostly 4-3 yesterday. That worked real well didn't it?
Bingo. This is the first post that I have seen that acknowledges the fact that the Jets opened the game with a 4-3 in Jax. TBTF
You know who developed really noticable man-boobs? Bill Parcells. He reminds me of Frank Costanza and the manzierre.
