[LatinMind]

Im so glad this guy isnt coaching this team. He will be out of the nfl in 2 yrs.

Kingsbury said Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings that he'll implement "cellphone breaks" during team meetings. He did something similar while coach at Texas Tech but will adapt it for NFL players.

"They're itching to get to those things," he said.

This literally has nothing to do with his ability to coach.

Or the Dallas Cowboys for that matter.

I see nothing wrong with that but to sit for 20 mins then break lol. Maybe a hour long meeting etc.

We have these at work. In a long winded meeting, somebody suggests a short tea break and everybody automatically gets their phone out. The idea isn't new, he's just calling it what it actually is.

 

[Jipper]

This is actually pretty intelligent; he has recognized a distraction and is offering a solution to insure more attention


Problem is college is kids, nfl is adults and at work...good luck with that

I like the policy.

Treat your players like kids, they will act like kids.

He did this in college too ... didn't do so well.

 

[EST_1986]

wonder if he will clap and slap butts when they post twitter updates

its called a break, he's just saying what it truly is.

Another reason I'm really glad I'm no longer part of the workplace.

Haha, I originally read that as he was going to break their mobiles if he saw them texting. Blimey, that would've been interesting.

Agreed. It's not a bad idea actually.

Smart phones destroyed civilization.

I wonder if this is an issue in New England

If he fails it will be because he drafted Murray, not because of his cell phone policy...
