NoCalMike Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Spurrier can get away with a comment like that due to Synder's reputation, which is deserved, however let's not pretend for one second that Spurrier had a good strategy for winning in the NFL. He came into the league basically scoffing at the work other coaches were putting in to get their teams prepared and almost always got it handed to him against those same coaches. The guy was not cut out to be a winner in a league where he didn't always get the privilege of the top players coming to his team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchetwound Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Not suprirsed the coach who quit on us decided to take a cheap shot. I'm not surprised. He wishes the NFL wanted him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyJ Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Steve Spurrier and Ben McAdoo should start a reality show. "Football: How I Flopped and It's Not My Fault". At least Jim Zorn had the good sense to keep his mouth shut when he coached the Polynesian Bowl. Yes, that's a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brixtion_skin Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Spurrier in NFL terms was a joke and frankly he won more games than I thought he would. The move by the owner to get him was the first to make me think-this franchise is in trouble. I thought being right is meant to make you feel good.

RVAskins Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Spurrier's QB's - Shane Matthews , Patrick Ramsey, Danny Wuerffel, Gibran Hamden, Tim Hasselbeck. It makes me cringe when I see that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchetwound Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Wasn't it Spurrier the one who gave him the nickname Old ball coach? How sad do you have to be to give yourself a nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your opinion, do you think now that the other teams with competent coaches and pro experience will see the tape and see you are running the same old schtick that does not translate to the pros, it will likely be your one win of the season?" Here they come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one blind-side sack in particular...I believe against Carolina..when I was convinced Ramsey was not going to get up. He did though... Not to mention the fact that in an interview with Jon Jansen and he mentioned that The Ole ****head wouldn't listen to any advice from vet players and that he tried to tell him that he could not have Trung blocking Michael Strahan one on one and he just didn't care. Spurrier can screw off........forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Trent or Ryan were to condemn this team after they retire, are we honestly going to accuse them of skirting ownership for the issues plaguing this franchise? Because ownership and management is a source of the problems...not the sole source. The players play the games. We have had a lot of good/great players here since Snyder became owner, and some embarrassing ones in their play and their character. Guys like Spurrier should never open their mouth about anything Redskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Did anyone but me see the clip live? Honestly, it sounded more like he was griping about how tough it was to coach in the NFL... It wasn't a Dis on the Redskins... if anything, he as tooting his own horn, by saying how hard its been to win the first game here. This comment is all about the ole ball coach, and not much about us. So I wouldn't be upset if I were you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter how Spurrier meant it, the same people crying media bias against ESPN, NFL Network, former players/coaches are going to make themselves believe this is another "axe to grind" situation.

Upon hearing that he said,...."i even did it with the Redskins and that's not easy to do. " Snyderskins in a nutshell. Certainly not easy when you’re a lazy arrogant gator coaching in a league beyond your abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ownership and management are THE source of the problem and blaming the final product on anything else is like blaming the Enron scandal on the interns.
