Lol!! How could a player that great want to play for this floundering coaching staff
Yeah, they really harbor a lot of resentment with the playcall in SB XLIX. They knew Beast Mode should have gotten the rock. I can't blame them, but the next season they were mostly in check (minus the holdout [contract] from Kam, that ended around week 2 or 3 if memory serves). It's really festered, yet Sherm is going hella public, and had a couple dealios on the sidelines last season with the coaches. The rest of the D is quietly holding their resentment (from the mass media).
He needs to get over it and get back to balling or this could affect his leadership qualities. Russell is their franchise QB, and rightfully so. Dude's a stud. Sherm can't compete with that. He is part of that Legion of Boom and they need him and he needs them.
I don't believe their window is closed, not with Carroll and Wilson and most of their D still intact. But Sherm is not making it any easier.
