Sorry, bro...but in a court of law, that is nothing but hearsay. Until we actually hear a player say things like that it means nothing.
Here are a few questions I would like to ask you. Let me first say I have no inside information and no clue how the players feel about the coaches. But for the sake of discussion lets ask anyway.
** Did you think the team quit on Wade Phillips?
** If so, what led you to that conclusion?
** Did you see the very same type of behavior - quitting - in the Saints' game?
** If not, how did one differ from the other?
As I recall, and I could be wrong, but not one player made a public comment about Wade when the team quit on him - if that is what actually transpired. There were rumbles, somewhat like this thing brought out by Broaddus. But I do not remember any player actually making a comment that they were done, they questioned Phillips, or that they quit.
However, there are some of the same players on this team that were on that team. And since the common denominator of all teams, regardless of coaching, is the players and their attitudes and talent.
** Then would it be a reach for this team to quit on their coaches - and these could very well be the same players that "quit" before?
To me it seems possible, however unlikely.
But then I do not have a stake in this coaching staff, nor have pinned my hopes on a miracle when the evidence has been pretty clear for three years this team is middle of the road.
