Contrasting Head Coach Press Introductions

[Bobhaze]

Looking at two new NFL head coaches being introduced to the media today, one couldn’t help but notice some major contrasts between how the two organizations introduced their new HC.

In Carolina’s press conference, new HC Matt Rhule was introduced by Panthers owner David Tepper, who after introducing Rhule, exited the stage. Rhule walked to the stage, spoke a few min about his philosophy, then took questions from the media. Neither Tepper nor his General Manager took the stage to talk to the media. Their new HC clearly is their mouthpiece. Here’s a link to the Panther PC:

(Intro starts about 6 min in)

In the Cowboys press conference to introduce Mike McCarthy, owner/GM/Jock sorter/Hotdog vender Jerry Jones sat alongside his new HC along with his VP and #1 son, Stephen Jones. The Jones boys talked more than Coach Mac. Quite a contrast to the Rhule intro. Here’s link to today’s Cowboys presser:

Did you hear the cheesy music at Rhules’? Sounded like it was coming from an ‘80’s boom box!

 

[skinsscalper]

The owner or GM has never been the mouthpiece in Carolina.

The Jones boys have, and to be honest, Rhule has a hell of a lot more of a sell job to do to that fan base than McCarthy ever will. One has skins on the wall and the other is, to this point, the next Chip Kelly.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

That's the way the Cowboys have always done it.

Which franchise is worth more? People, including the media, are addicted to Jerry whether they admit it or not. Go back and watch the old hard knocks -- I was surprised to see how much Jerry listened. His coaches said something and it started coming out of his mouth at press conferences. Don't mistake being the mouth piece as the one dictating decisions.

Let the hate flow through you! The dark side awaits!

 

[TRUTH87]

are we really complaining about JJ and stephen sitting at the PC and answering questions?

JJ has always loved the spotlight. and for the first time in a while he’s hired a Proven coach whom he’s allowed to bring in his staff.

i’m good.

 

[KingintheNorth]

People making excuses for Jerry as usual.

He and his son's insistence on sitting out there are problem #1 with this franchise.

Jerry's analogy to McCarthy being available at this time was the same as Aikman being available when he bought the team was awful. As were his dumb stories, including his sister wanting a divorce and not "hearing bells" anymore.

Stephen laughing the whole time like a teenage school girl with a crush was embarrassing too.

However, I did like all the things McCarthy said and I'm not his biggest fan.

Bullet Bob, I noticed the same thing and even mentioned it to my wife. Just another opportunity for "blow hard" Jones to get in the spotlight. I'd even go as far to say that coach M looked a little uncomfortable with it.

Yepper doesn't know much about football. He wouldn't know what to say. That's my take

He needed to laugh when McCarthy admitted to not actually watching every play from last season despite what he told him. Coaches have been fired for lying on their resume and during the hiring process, so you know, that was smart to make sure that blew over.

Rhule definitely took on that sales job during the press conference. He was pretty dynamic up there.

yeah yeah you hate Jerry jones zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[VaqueroTD]

Here's a more fair comparison.

Contrast with Bill Parcells introduction:



or Wade Phillips



I can't find anything with Jason Garrett's introduction. Somewhere between Wade and Mike McCarthy, they stopped using the podium and a table instead.

McCarthy made a comment about that too. Said it was the first time he was seated at a table for a press conference. On purpose?

 

[SSoup]

It's not exactly BREAKING NEWS that Jerry would rather the team lose with his fingerprints all over it than let them win and have the credit go to someone else. Of course he's going to continue to try to crowbar himself as much as possible into events that are about others, ad make sure no one gets confused into thinking anyone else is running things. He's been doing it for decades. He'll do it for another decade and a half until he's thankfully no longer corporeally able to do it.

Rhule sounds like a Baptist preacher.

We clearly won the HC battle there.....Sheeesh. Rhule won't know his AH from his elbow until year 2-3. MM is SB ready now.
