I would give the proper credit but I just can't remember the name of the poster who said it last night or this morning.

However someone called him the Ginger Clapper and for some reason that cracks me up.

In the end clapping or not clapping on the sidelines does not mean anything. Just as someone ranting or raving (WVU Coach) or someone just standing there all stoic (Landry). That does not mean anything.

But I can't lie and say it does not irk me...cause it does.

Guess I'm a gluten for punishment, but I listen to some of them. After the wins I don't, cause the W is all that matters. After the losses I listen in hopes of them explaining themselves, but it's always the same corporate, PC BS from both clowns.

Seeing him clap on the sidelines, is nauseating. Hearing the press conferences brings the vomit up and out of the mouth.


Yep.
"Oh I think we did some things well and other things need improvement"
"Saints are a good football team; we knew we'd have to play well in all 3 phases"
"These guys will battle; we always say we want the right kind of players here"
"We have to continue to get better"
About the time I heard Garrett say 'we need to get better'. I would interupt the guy and say "Jason we've been hearing this since training camp, can you give us a definitive day when we will see this actually happen?"

He just always looks frozen and overwhelmed. Stoic is one thing. I don't need a coach with a "visual" fire or intensity as long as he knows how to communicate. It's like Garrett is doing his best impersonation of a coach. His eyes are as wide as saucers anytime something happens. It just screams panic.

The man is in over his head.

Come to think of it Jerry's may be worse (at least AS bad.) The big part of that being, obviously that everything falls to him and he's just a bumbling idiot who never has answers or is always deflecting with an overly obvious surface answer.

I dont see how anyone can still listen to anything Ginger Clapper has to say.

He missed his calling. He should be a politician with his vagueries, nepotism, and tired cliches.

There is still time for him though.

There is no process, .. the cliches are empty.

We are not improving.

We are far from the top level teams. Look back 15 years, we aren't even close.

He had no HC experience when he started here, and now three years later, .. he has not seemed to improve.

The problem is, .. if we replace him, .. Jerry Jones does not know who to pick, .. and if he did, "that guy" would probably not want to come to Dallas.

We had all better just get used to this.

There are several posters that admires how he handles the media and the fact that he never gives up any info. They think he is being very smart by doing this. I think he is just too dumb to give an informative answer.

I am about as anti-Garrett as can be, have been from his days as OC and especially after he became HC.

But, what do people really want from these press conferences? Do they want to see the coach bow down and apologize like shamed corporate heads in Japan? Every losing HC's press conference is pretty much the same these days. They all say the same old crap. "All three phases...played a great team...turnovers...didn't make plays...have to look at the film... The HC isn't going to call out a player or tell you anything about a certain play or throw someone under the bus.

On rare occasion, you got the Dennis Green or Mike Singletary meltdown and see some heart-felt emotion. "Playoffs?!" Not these days, not anymore. The coaches aren't making a fool of themselves on national TV. I guess the NFL makes money off of people watching the HCs standing in front of some corporate logo blabbering about nothing.

Who would vote for him other than the Joneses?

How dare you be rational!;)

At least Red doesn't bring his side kick Howdie Doodie to the press conferences.
