[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 492094, member: 265"] You know, in an earlier one of the innumerable "It's time to get rid of CPJ!" threads someone said one reason to fire him was that he wasn't paying much attention at practice, but was (semi-quote) "sitting on the side talking to boosters and media people." Now, all of a sudden, probably because we are winning again and Coach has been paying particular attention to QB play, we get the "CPJ has no friends in the media! We don't get good coverage because he isn't friendly!" business again. We need to make up our minds here. But what am I saying? The folks who want to get rid of Coach will turn 180º in a heartbeat to find some way to complain about him. Personally, as I've said before, I find Coach's attitude toward the media a breath of fresh air. There's no need for anyone to suffer fools and their questions or treat sheer incompetence in coverage with anything less then contempt. And most people are forgetting the flip side of the coin; the questions Coach gets in his pressers are much better then they were when he started. Back then, most of the press guys didn't know enough about what we were doing to ask a competent question. Some still don't; we still get the inevitable "Isn't <their favorite player here> a great one?" questions and the equally inevitable "Will <guy who was hurt> play this week?" But fewer people ask the first one since they know that Coach is a perfectionist and will always evaluate the players on a team basis. And the second one has become a running joke at his pressers, to the frustration of the guy asking the question and the general amusement of the rest. I think he handles the press just about right; I can't stand cheerleading coaches. We got two of the best on this facing up last Saturday; Bronco is a Coach clone without the wit in his press interactions. [/QUOTE]
