They're not watching news often, if at all. They, like much of the country, get their news from the few minutes they spend on social media. They're not taking the time to evaluate the news they consume, let alone research whether it's legit or not. "Fair and balanced" from FoxNews has duped many people. It is an effective slogan. Jack has been around long enough that when the players talk to him, he'll understand their perspective and back off the foolishness. do you think football assistant coaches in the offseason are working THAT MUCH harder than doctors/lawyers/teachers/grocery clerks/plumbers/whomever... people that keep informed? i just think he is an ignorant ****stick at his core, who may (or may not) have the mental bandwidth to understand ONE specific skill. and one major aspect of that profession we hope he has mastered is keeping his players on his side, grounded, and motivated. so far his demonstration of qualifications amounts to him showing up drunk at work the first day, belittling his underlings and then puking on his secretary. his players MAY squint past it in the future.... but it is a ****ty start (and one that fits PERFECTLY into the Danny S. era of craptakular perpetual suckitude. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busch1724 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) mcsluggo, you may be right. Is he working that much harder than the folks you mentioned? No. However, politics and analyzing where he gets his news from is likely something that is not on his radar. He's ignorant, no doubt. I know high school coaches that are this way. Does it make it right? No. However, it does happen. Jack is a meathead like a lot of coaches. There are coaches who are intellectuals and those that aren't. Jack comes across as one of those that is not. Now if former and current players say something about his politics, then that's another discussion. So far, there's none of that. BTW, you can add the ax incident while in Jacksonville to your list of stupid stuff he's done. He isn't a good head coach, but he's a good coordinator. We'll see what happens.

I must have missed these incidents. Can you point me in the direction (link) where I can read about him showing up drunk and vomiting on his secretary? I searched but couldn't find anything.

I have another acquaintance who worked in the same building who always asked me if I changed my mind because of all the great things Trump has done, - there is a distinct difference between the 1st guy and the last (the majority of Trump voters are of the 1st variety - they are still wrong about him but are not cultish). These cultish guys actually hate Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham nevermind the Haley's, Martha McSallys and Collinses. The Republican party is in serious trouble because of Trump and he will be handing the country over to the Dems this fall and it may be a while before they can recover. In effect Trump in 2016 was the best thing that could have happened for the Democratic Party. Edited June 29, 2020 by nonniey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
