Thoughts on comments from coaching staff

[Ring 6]

Last week Covington said “it wasn’t Xs and Os” and blamed the players.



Now Mayo has a team meeting and shows the OL a mirror, then tells the media about it, saying it’s on them.

This is a big departure from “it all started with me, and we need to coach better”.


Thoughts on this?

Maybe he had to go old school and start to be a little tougher. Handholding, coddling, trophies for everyone isn’t working? Maybe the mirrors will….wonder if he was screaming at them as well. To be a fly on that wall…

What exactly are you talking about?

Nope

Don't have a problem with it. He's not lying.

 

[lancerman]

He isn't wrong so I don't care. Most of these lineman should be replaced anyways

I did not like how Bill gave nothing to the media but Mayo goes too far the other way sometimes.

You don't need to get into that much detail on how you gave your players ****. He was a former player though so I am sure he knows how far he can push them and what is ok to share.

On the Covington part, he and Mayo were adamant that they told the team not to let Rodgers get outside the pocket. I get going to the media after they did everything but keep Rodgers in the pocket lol. some of Uche's rushes were out of control

On the OL part, I have no problem with Mayo saying that the free rushers that hit the QB is not a coaching issue

I think it being his virgin year we will see a lot of him giving more than he should. Next year not so much. Maybe he’s just chatty and needs a hug…

Change the QB, you change the results!

Nope

"So there's no...."

Double edge sword, yeah?

Bill had his own way of holding players accountable for themselves. I don't have an issue with calling them out. But I do have an issue with not also taking responsibility. I know I've heard him say we need to coach better so I don't want to go too far. And I'm sure Mayo has a way of talking to his players one on one that I'm sure they take way more to heart then media comments.

Let's just say it was one thing that Bill was smart about. It almost always started with we have to coach better before he got into other things.

As long as Mayo has the ears of his players which I think he does at least for now, then this isn't a problem.

Fair enough, but did he put a mirror on Wolf’s desk too?

Two Times Mayo have been talking out of two sides of his mouth since TC. Your nose is growing Pinocchio.

IMO feels like mayo is in between following the " plan" and asserting himself as HC.

I can't wait until he talk all about Drake when he takes over when we are 1-7..

 

[VrabelJr]

Expect Mayo to get more unhinged as our plummet continues. It was so easy to look composed during the offseason but now the pads are on.

 

[Boomer B]

He should of smashed the mirror over a few of their heads…

Not a fan of a coach shredding players in front of the media.

No problem at all shredding a player in front of the team or privately.

Blaming the players seems like self-absolvement.
