Common jason, Have you been in the locker room to hear any of Smiths words to determine weather he is leader or not? Dungy had the same attitude and accomplished much in Indy. I dont buy it, Players Know what to do , Jamie Dukes said it today He did not see Phillips on the field to make plays, it was on the QB. I pretty much have been touting that aspect as well. Though I never played pro ball I take the word of someone that has been in the huddle and knows the deal. Pretty Much all contention is that if a Coach looses the locker room then he is gone. Look at Singletary in SF, they are claiming he is loosing the looker room. Yelling and Old school manners are being questioned at this point.
Lovie and the staff will have this year and next to show what can happen if they have the players and coaches to do it with. Reason I say that is the contracts that were given, All the coaches have 2 years left on their contracts. So this is going to be long 2 years on this forum for alot of you guys.
