He deserves a fair chance 100%. And he may very well have the dawg, no excuses mentality when the camera isn’t rolling, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him visibly angry. We’ve had rah rah Rhule, checked out frank, man among men Wilks, and now rah rah Canales. 

In February of 22, Wilks was hired as the secondary coach and the pass game coordinator, whatever the hell that is. On October 10, 2022, Rhule is fired. Steve takes over. 13 days later we beat the piss out of the Bucs 21-3. We then go in to ATL and hang 34 points on them, losing in ot by 3 points. Next week we got worked by the bengals but still posted 3 TDs. Next week we beat the birds at home. He went .500 in 12 games. But he had no answer for the Brady to Evans connection so he definitely had to go. What a loser.

A position coach who started with the team only 8 months prior (granted he is a well known commodity), had a group of lost castoff losers with a notorious choker at QB and a ‘bad offensive line… who only looked bad when Bryce took over’ scoring actual touchdowns and just bullying people. Winning. He was there 8 months. Gets the gig, and then beats the bucs 21-3, then goes on the road to the place we never win anyway and rolls up 34 points. 34! We had a team of… wait for it… DAWGS. Even in losing there was no quit. 

3 commonalities among the head coaches Tepp hired… can anyone guess what they are??? Marshmallows. This is an x and o game, but it’s not at the same time. 

This is all just sorry, and sadly, did not have to happen. Its attitude, the undying drive to win and believing that the rest of your teammates feel the same way. This soft approach has poisoned the well and is the LAST thing this group needed.

I would have loved to have seen the practices building up to that Bucs win in 22. I bet they looked a hell of a lot different than what we have now. I sure miss 3 TD games. 

Until Proven otherwise, T wants nothing to do with the dawg mentality. We had a dawg for a coach, briefly, until he drove him down to SF and dropped him off.

Finesse is great but the thing I see with the X and O guys is often that their teams lack toughness. Yes.

You want the players to be tough and if you’re all cerebral in your approach you can leave that out of your recipe without realizing it. 

I guess the team takes on the personality? fug now I am getting concerned because Canales just doesn’t give off toughness. At l least not much in front of the cameras. 
He needs to dial up some poo that these guys can execute. And quick,

I like my men, manly and hairy.

I don't know about hairy but I like my football team to have a highly toxic level of manliness. The cheerleaders can take care of all the nice stuff.

I mean, you must base that on positivity because that's his shtick. For me, he hasn't done a damned thing yet, except get his ass out-coached the first damned game of his head-coaching career.

NFL football is 3 hours of grown men beating the snot out of each other. Talent is still a major determinant of success, that’s undeniable… but here’s the real factor: can your team break their will before they break yours?

 If you’re soft, all the talent in the world won’t help. You’ll have timid, undisciplined give up ball at the first sign of adversity. Superior talent helps to break an opponent’s will faster and easier, but it’s not everything. Superior talent that never gives up, ever (cough 28 to 3) wins championships. 

The flip side is the team of 25% jag-, 50% jag, 25% jag+ with maybe a couple pro bowl level guys mixed in. Right now, I see that as our realistic 2-3 year goal. Hard nosed, strong willed decently talented guys who just don’t quit. This is the dawg that Dan speaks of. Good drafting puts these teams over the hump. 

Our biggest issue(s) is that the defacto field general on offense doesn’t belong in the NFL, nobody believes in him or his ability, and nobody knows who it is for the defense. Brown leads by example, but unfortunately that’s not good enough most of the time. Does the head coach have any real autonomy on personnel issues? Does T want to be the only general? Did Wilks represent a coup?

Soft teams don’t win championships. Going talent before culture puts the cart before the horse. Tanking to get a top pick lets the players know that management is cool with losing, because you all aren’t good enough and we need better players to take your place. Losing on purpose creates a team full of dejected losers and there is no amount of talent that overcomes a broken will.

This is why the goal is to win. Always. 
This is why you start culture first, then talent. A man among men is the only thing that alters the course garbage barge. 

2022 really opened my eyes. How was that team in 2 weeks, 2 weeks!!! COMPLETELY different?
