Then he dumped Freeman's lazy ass, inserted Glennon and they started to win and suddenly his players bought in and realized his way works.
See Underwood's and McCoy's responses today when they found out.
And I maybe missing something but was it proven he released confidential medical records?
I always wondered why the media immediately put the blame on the Bucs for releasing Freeman's medical records. He had absolutely NO motive to do that. Why would a team release records that significantly lowers the trade value of a player they are trying to trade.
In fact the ONLY one who had a motive to release those records were either Freeman or his agent. They wanted to force the Bucs to release Freeman so he could get paid twice for being a below average QB (its the American way
) And the stink that was made when those records were released forced the Bucs to exactly what the agent and Freeman wanted. The Vikings paid him (again) and after seeing him in action for only one game, never let him close to the field again.
People ought to remember that it is very difficult for reporters to cultivate sources within a team's organization. Every team runs its operation like its the CIA and the only "inside" info that gets out is what they want out there. Why would a person risk his job to speak with a reporter unless ordered.
Players are a poor source because their jobs are on the line and they know their organizations want everything kept "in the family". So what we get from them is pabulum and platitudes for the most part. So where are these mediots getting their information.....the agents. Almost everything that PFT puts out as speculation is agent driven. I don't blame Florio, he just uses the sources he has available, and the agents use him right back.
I don't know if Schianno should have been fired. I'm sure some of his players thought he was to tough. However IIRC all his former Rutgers players (which if I recall includes about half the Pats roster
) seem to have a lot of respect for him. He resurrected a program that no one said could be done. He developed a lot of good NFL players recently. and BB liked him. Those are some good qualifications
I know its very unlikely he'd ever land here, but if he doesn't it won't be because BB doesn't think he could do a good job.
