    probably keeping their mouths shut or getting shipped out. i'm guessing you don't bad mouth the new coach and try to keep a job. :smiley1::cool:

    Is it?
    Are players of other teams with new coaches speaking out?

    They have cleaned out their lockers and gone home

    Most do not know him

    Toss in a big pile of uncertainty

    And it’s a good time to chill out

    Should they call a press conference? Post something on the sewer that is Twitter?

    Assume they say something glowingly positive in whatever PR outlet they choose either collectively or individually...why would anyone believe it is anything more than cliche nonsense? Please stop believing what coaches and athletes say in public forums as either true or accurate. Treat it like politicians. If they open their mouth in front of a microphone....it is a lie.

    C'mon this is a total non-story.

    Man, you should consider making clickbait slop on YouTube or Instagram - the sensationalist sounding title, the lazy, unfalsifiable claims and shallow-yet-overdramatic conclusions - you'd be a natural.

    Exactly. We don't need to hear from the players thoughts on the new coach after a tough end to the season. They want to keep their jobs while others need to hide under a rock, like Jonnu Smith, who needs to be cut or shipped out.

    That doesn't matter. The fact they didn't all grab the microphone and start chanting McCarthy's name means they all hate him and we're going winless next season.

    I prefer they don’t but the years have taught me they’ll catch up and opinions will abound.

    One can argue, whether you like the hire or not, as of now he’s the best head coach in this division. He’s certainly the most proven.
