I did not watch Joe's presser yesterday but from the report I heard he apparently got a little up close and personal with his remarks.
Now none of that really changes his situation but it does remind me that while we fans often let our emotions get the best of us and call coaches garbage, POS, whatever, we often forget that the target of our insults is a human being with feelings just like everyone else and is also probably trying to do the best that he can . I'm sorry to say I have been guilty of this myself. Someone who beats up a kid or robs people is a POS, not a football coach who isn't good at his job. . This is not to excuse the outcome for which he is being paid 30X more than most of us to achieve and must be held accountable for. But it does make one rethink the acceptability of doing so in a hateful, demeaning manner and while Joe is a big boy and can probably take it let me say it is NEVER OK to yell out to a man's kid and tell her that her dad sucks.
My opinion of Joe's performance has not changed. He has failed miserably as our HC and I have little confidence that he has the ability to turn it around. Even if he is willing to completely change the way he does things I have little faith that such change would be successful because I think he is in over his head and needs to be replaced. I hope we can get that done and keep the without so much vitriol.
