So we’re now upset that Garrett doesn’t divulge much information in his press conferences?
Do you also cry when you chip a nail?Yes. Next question?

I bet you do.I don't chip my nails. I keep them trimmed like I'm supposed to.
Who’s upset? Lighten up.So we’re now upset that Garrett doesn’t divulge much information in his press conferences?
Jesus.
Thread worthy then? I don’t know... you’re the one who started it.Who’s upset? Lighten up.

If it bothers you enough to start a thread about it, hey man... I say go for it. Get it off your chest.
Who’s talking about his coaching abilities? Not me.We're so sorry. Would you feel better if we said we think Garrett is the next Lombardi?

Feel free to say whatever you like though.
I guess I shoulda made it clearer that this was more fun than substance. I guess if you felt the need to “correct the thread” I guess thanks are in order.Thread worthy then? I don’t know... you’re the one who started it.

I apologize if I hurt your feelings. How Garrett answers questions to the press just seems a little inconsequential in the scheme of things. To me at least.I guess I shoulda made it clearer that this was more fun than substance. I guess if you felt the need to “correct the thread” I guess thanks are in order.
Your opinions are welcome. I’m always amused by hating on a thread then posting on it over and over to advertise that they don’t like it. Cool.I apologize if I hurt your feelings. How Garrett answers questions to the press just seems a little inconsequential in the scheme of things. To me at least.
It was just my opinion. Feel free to critique it, if you wish.
What did we learn there? Of course they released the kicker because he missed kicks. Of course he's happy with his QB and unhappy with his defense. There's no more substance to these answers than to any other coach's. What it really highlights is how lazy the sports reporters are, that they don't ask better questions.We all know how excruciating it can be to listen to a Jason Garrett press conference. They often last 20-30 minutes without revealing anything. A bunch of “Coach speak” garbage.
The robotic answers, often repeating the same platitudes over and over without really saying anything. “He’s an outstanding football player”, “We did some good things out there”, “We will have to go back, look at the tape, clean some things up”, “...at that point in the football game.” Etc.
I was listening to a head coach speak to the media yesterday in a presser about 5 min, answered at least 6-8 questions in a short, clear and direct way.
The coach is Mike Zimmer of the Vikings.
In his brief press conference, here are some of the questions he was asked and the answers he gave:
There were a few other questions, but you get the idea. Straight talk from the head coach. He doesn’t give talk in circles, but is direct and commanding. If these questions were asked of Garrett, we would still be listening to a long droning answer about “football game”, “football player”.
- Question: “What went into the decision to release the kicker?”
- Answer: “Did you see the game? He missed three FGs.”
- Question: “How did you feel about the defensive performance yesterday? (giving up 29)
- Answer: “Our defensive performance was unacceptable. It’s as simple as that. Those players know what I expect and that was unacceptable.”
- Question: “Are you happy with the play of your QB (Kirk Cousins) so far?”
- Answer: “Very happy. He’s doing what we ask him to do.”
I’m not suggesting that post game press conferences are critical to winning. But I am saying they can provide insight into whether or not a HC has command of the situation. Zimmer clearly does.
