I got a survey to rate Dallas Cowboys shirts on which one I like the best and I exited. I hate AZ Central so much.
They base that on your internet searches.....just sayin'!

They're fine with it now, cause they are winning. Otherwise

As a coach praise and criticism are part of the job. If you can't take it....you gotta go.

Echoes my thoughts exactly. One of the quotes even said it pisses guys off sometimes. I'm not for babying these highly paid men by any stretch, and I love BA's candidness, but I have to believe that it would wear on guys after several years. That's just me though, I'm neurotic I suppose and don't like feeling like anyone is trying to manipulate me. I don't need motivation, pep talks, or speeches. I have all the motivation I need, it's called paying bills so my wife and I can continue to eat and watch cable TV and Netflix, what else is there? I can't give 110%, I give 100% all the time, it's the most anyone can give. First world problems, I know. (There are people in our lives who are able to pull more out of us than we ever thought possible, but those people are so few. Everyone thinks they're like that, but only a few are--the rest of them are just asses).
I guess my beef with it is calling out Campbell, one of our best defensive players. I don't see Campbell calling out anyone for not providing any quality LB play or front line play. He's it in the front seven along our D-line and LB core.
I will say this however, I'm quite sure it doesn't effect Campbell negatively. I'm sure coach knows he's mentally tough. BA's message, in my opinion, is intended for the other front 7. They hear that and look at a dude like Campbell, who's a beast, and they have to figure, if he's that badass and getting called out, then I'm not doing enough.

I've never held issue with it but others seemed to this off season so thought it'd be a good article to bring up

LOL awesome post, some of the people criticizing Whiz for throwing players under the bus are the same ones praising BA, and frankly BA is much more aggressive at it. Winning cures all, until you're not anymore.

I think the difference (besides the winning) was that Whiz had no problem praising himself (or at least his system) but never seemed to want to shoulder any blame.

BA has also praised himself. He said he didn't need an offensive coordinator because play-calling was "easy", there's nothing to it. BA also has a "system", make no mistake, the only difference is he doesn't have guys rebelling against it. Again though, that's a winning thing.

Yes, but BA has also criticized himself.

Yes, very true, he's admitted to having bad game plans and bad play calling. I can't remember Whiz admitting any of that. Fair point.

BA is a straight shooter and an enigmatic coach. It is hard to pin him down but he has been consistent and in charge all along. Whisenhunt was way over his head as a HC but is a decent OC...he'll work again.

BA said he will call the plays until he he finds someone that can do it better, not that it was easy IIRC.
