Because he is so timid and mousey. Philbin might be a great X and Os guy, but he seems to really struggle when dealing with the players. He just started so maybe he will get better at it, but I think all great coaches have their players respect.

Rex Ryan is HC material. Maybe not Super Bowl HC material, but how many of those are there.
Joe Philbin is the white Raheem Morris. Not in control, wishy washy, doesn't speak like he has authority. He's just not a leader.
I'm not under the belief that the head coach needs to be a burly presence to make an impact. Still, I need to watch the show. The only thing I've seen to date is the CJ firing, so just curious on why you guys would think that for myself going into the show. Should fire up the HBO GO tonight.
Is it even on HBO Go?

I think he's doing a fine Job, by what I've seen so far. I think the real problem is the Organization letting Hard Knocks come in and video tape a first time head coach, and a Offense known to have many problems. It gives people the chance to criticize Joe on ever move he makes.
I would think so. HBO GO usually gets the show the second the first broadcast hits the air.

The measure of a head coach is knowing his limitations. It's obvious watching the show that he's surrounded himself with a staff of more "animated" individuals. Mike Sherman for instance has plenty of fire and brimstone to challenge players with. Same for Jim Turner and Dan Campbell. Both of which were featured heavily this past episode. Philbin's day to day job is to make sure his staff is doing what's best for the player and properly evaluating that talent.yankeehater said:
While he's a low key guy and can come off as timid - he has people in top level positions delivering his message in different ways. As long as the players are buying into the system and the program he's implementing I don't see the issue.
It's too early to say he's not head coach material based on two meetings with one of the more vocal and outlandish personalities in the league. It's obvious he doesn't want that type of player on his team.
At no point has he come off as not in control or "wishy washy" to me. I don't agree at all. Reserved? Quiet? Sure.I H8 Memes said:
One thing I did notice in comparison to other Hard Knocks we've seen - Jeff Ireland seems pretty cutoff from the day to day operations of the team. Maybe I missed his presence from time to time but he and Philbin don't appear much together in any of the first two episodes. Quite a change from Tennebaum/Ryan and even Marvin Lewis and the Bengals FO.
Hmm, yeah. My guess is because it is a co-production or something?
I think Goodell is just doing it to fuck with me
From just coming from basic impressions, yeah. He reminds me of Jason Garrett.

Lions update:
Whether they want to or not!
Dude should retire, honestly. It's not worth crippling brain damage to play this game, as much as he might love it.
I'd like to see one of the losing participants from the final four for the show. That would be more interesting to me than some team that nobody is interested in.
Patriots, 49ers, Ravens. Would love to see the attitude and adjustments throughout the camp.
Third world country, first world problems.
I can't believe they actually convince anyone to let them do this. It just exposes all the warts. The only other team that expressed interest this year was the Jags

I fear for his life if he keeps playing. These concussions are serious business and he has had some severe ones. It sucks because he is a great player and all, but I would rather not watch him get carted off the field for his last nfl play

I'd love to see the inner workings of the Giants as a fan but there's no way in hell Coughlin would ever allow it. A part of me understands not wanting the distraction there, too.
I just imagine the camera turning to Coughlin. Each time giving an expression, like he is being disturbed taking a dump.
Might have been pretty interesting seeing the Jags. This offseason/preseason has just been awful for them.

Blaine Gabbert is throwing the ball with his eyes open this preseason. It takes baby steps, baby

Isn't Pony-GAF supposed to be about the enjoyment of great animation and harkening back to an age of non-adult worries?

Hopefully the Lions can entice him to be a scout or assistant. Or get him back to school. I doubt he'd last past a few games and risking his long term health or life for just a few games is never worth it.
This also means that my prediction of a Smith/Leshoure backfield is coming true.
What Al Davis picture? The one where he looks like a zombie? Or the one where he looks like a zombie perhaps.
Nah, the one where he looks like a zombie.
Haven't seen that one. can you post it?
I'll ban you.

Yeah, it would be so exciting seeing the various stone faces with minimal dialogue.
Well they already had A Football Life with Belichick, it was alright. My expectations were too high I suppose.
Sherman was pretty entertaining. John Tortorella is hard to beat as far as coaching + entertainment. Liked Bylsma and Laviolette as well, it's hockey so none of you give a shit, but the Winter Classic is good stuff. Love Torts.
