I would have hated to see what old Tom had to say about the NYG when he first got there. If what has been said is true our players are a bunch of baby's that are waiting for JR to save them.

The other day I posted that it seemed the organization had leaned towards "players coaches" as opposed to guys like Coughlin or Shiano. Capers prided himself on attention to detail, but he was by no means a hard ass. Seifert was just aloof (neither hard nor soft), Fox was a players coach, and until this report, I would have classified Rivera as a players coach as well.

JR, as a former player may lean towards that type coach either intentionally or unintentionally. Perhaps it has created a culture that focuses more on everyone getting along and not rocking the boat more than on pure performance. It seems Kris Jenkins may have been an example of a poor fit with that type culture.

I don't pretend to have the answers, but if the culture is "soft" we will never progress sufficiently to be a consistent winner. That doesn't mean we have to hire a Coughlin clone, but it may mean we need to make a conscious effort to shake things up.

The difference was, the Giants' players weren't spoiled like ours are.

I beg to differ. Coughlin's first year was really dicey, with guys like Strahan resisting the changes. Once the players realized Coughlin was there to stay, they eventually bought in, but plenty of people speculated Coughlin wouldn't survive his first year in NY.

It's hard to hear the message when your 1-4, and it's hard not to cuss out your team when your 1-4... but watch (with take the chance of jinxing the Panthers) as we pull out 5 straight victories off the bye week and then every player will love Rivera and his message. Just part of football.

Nope, i remember watching a video on Panthers website last season, that Panthers insider bit Mike Craft does every week and it showed a clip of Rivera getting in the face BIG time during a clip. I mean, scary stuff, yelling. Not typcal stuff you see.

I take pride in thinking I can read and assess personalities. I always thought he was like the teacher mentor coach that treated his players like men and gave "I'm disappointed in you" speeches when players didn't perform. Shows what I know.

If anyone can find a link to this please post.

I went to Panthers website and they have all the videos from last hear from the media vault but the video wouldnt load, im thinking it has to do with my ipad. I think it was right around the start or middle of the season on a Panthers insider video
