Zimmer on issues with Vikings GM Spielman

[TheMarathonContinues]

Criticize a man to his face, not to the media...especially if he's your friend...Newman is a nut, as well....he's a squealer! LOL!

He's a nut because instead of taking the criticism and learning from it he got in his feelings like a sensitive child.

 

[Doomsday]

“It became toxic,” Newman said, h/t ***NOT-ALLOWED***.com. “It was a trickle effect. If players are dreading getting cussed out and s–t like that, then it’s going to make it a long day for everybody.”

---

Kind of reminds me of the opposite of Dan Quinn and Wade Phillips, they were too easy on guys and eventually it created an atmosphere with less accountability that players took advantage of.

Zimmer might ride guys too hard and eventually they check out as well. Guess time will tell.

I guess some players have thin skin...funny how he took it when he needed the Zimmer and went public when he was gone...what a wuss.

 

[Ranching]

Good luck. lmao

Just having some fun...nothing good to watch on TV.

I think that type of coaching is fine when you win. Soon as you lose or start losing that's when the guys start to check out.

You talking about Newman....I agree

I mean both things can be true.

Interesting article about Zimmer and how he feels about being let go at Minnesota.

Zimmer comes across pretty freaking petty and unprofessional in this interview

Good thing the media never manipulates comments and adds their spin to it for more clicks....

On September 1, 2018, Newman retired from football to join the Vikings coaching staff.[88] In 2020 he worked out for the Vikings, eyeing a possible comeback as a player, but was not signed.

So Zimmer didn't sign him in 2020....why would he want to go back if Zimmer was so toxic? Maybe, he held a grudge for Zimmer not signing him?
Nah, he wouldn't do that!

..in scope of bigger picture. Probably meant coming back to Dallas.

I kind of laugh reading the comments about Zimmer being too tough on people and wearing out his welcome fast.

Years ago the complaints around here was the team being too soft and having "Camp Cupcake".

So....what exactly do we all want?

Answer: An old school, hardnosed football coach not coaching at Camp Cupcake.

This does not make Zimmer look good.

It makes him look like a person who avoids accountability and blames everything that went wrong in Minnesota on everyone but himself.

+1 .....Agree 100%
Everything he said is probably true but boy, he missed the mark on this one....bad.

I don't see how anyone can take a word out of Florios mouth seriously.

Whoever can take what Jerry says seriously then you can take what Florio seriously

The GM/HC dynamic is such a critical component of success.

The best case scenario is there is a singular goal and a specific plan to achieve it, agreed by both GM and HC.

They both follow that plan in both their assigned capacities and responsibilities.

These responsibilities must be clearly communicated and understood with as little overlap as possible. the chain of command must be clearly established and understood by the team.

The team answers to the HC. The HC answers to the GM. Their management approach is to be unified. They always have each other's back in public.

If the GM disagrees with the HC, the only one who will know is the HC and visa versa. Disagreements are never public. Management is perceived as a singular entity.

When a rift is discovered and publicized, it's over. The team loses confidence and the authority of one or both is diminished to the point where success is unlikely.

Any HC or GM that publicly chastises the other is just hurting himself in the end, not only for the present but most likely in their futures.

A few former Cowboys HC's could probably tell a story or two but they have the professionalism to refrain....so far.

That's the takeaway here. If he was so thin skin there can you imagine here with the way the Jones boys run their mouths?
