You know what's missing from the modern NFL?

A good old coaching tirade. In the 90s to 2000s they had some classic ones.

Jim Mora's Diddly Poo, Playoffs?!,
Herm Edward's you play to WIN the game
Bill Cahallan"s We got to be the dumbest team in America
Dennis Green's The Bears are who we thought they were.

I'm sure I'm missing a few more. I can't remember a good one the last 5-10 years.

Occasional tirades are good because they are funny and relatable(we've all had bad days at work). And it shows that the coaches have some kind characters. Modern coaches are too robotic.

I feel like Jim Harbaugh will go crazy in a press conference at some point.

The main issue with the NFL, everyone is overpaid and it’s made them huge pussies.

Daboll screaming at his team doctor to let his concussed QB onto the field isn't enough for you?

Today's coaches talk like MBAs. Way too polished.

Dan Campbell talked about biting kneecaps.
Saleh told Cohen he was going to murder him a few weeks ago.

Saleh looks like the love child of Dana White and Bas Rutten, so probably; yeah.

Came into this thread hoping for more simplistic platitudes, sorely disappointed.

Too many games means coaches will not even attempt to win on a given week because it doesn't matter in the grand scheme. And that's not even touching on tanking for top picks.

Coaches are cast as much as hired now. It’s all a sanitized TV show for housewives and their cucks

I thought you were going to say "awesome talented defensive squads able to tackle one on one."

Stuff that comes from upstairs… everyone that fills in the gaps between the owner, GM, and head coach (back in the day wasn’t Al Davis all 3? Jerry Jones might be the last owner to be 2 of the 3)

These organizations are way bigger than they were 30 years ago

All we ever get is bland worthless coachspeak now. I keep trying to tell the Rant to stop parsing Brian Kelly’s pressers bc it’s meaningless. No coach wants to say anything slightly controversial or revealing.

Should be more mad at your AD for 1. Hiring him and 2. Only giving him 4 years to completely change the offense and recruiting philosophy.

Mike Singletary on Vernon Davis deserves a mention. That was a classic

Would you rather the owners get all of the additional revenue?
