I know Tomlin gets excited like the fans when the team does something good, but I could do without the chest bumping and over-celebratory stuff we see from Tomlin at times. Did Noll ever do that? Does Belicheck? Parcels?

Come on, Jack, where were you over the summer when there were all the posts about Tomlin being an awful coach because he didn't show any emotion ever?

Oh I saw those threads, Thigpen. Tomlin DOES show emotion but I think the issue that some had with him is that he shows emotion like a fan shows emotion. When we do something good he chest bumps and goes through these machinations kind of like I do in my living room. I think the kind of emotion that many of us would like to see more of is that in your face emotion when the special teams screw up, interacting more with the OC and the DC and generally having some input into what's going on DURING the heat of the battle. But then again, that's not really emotion is it? I guess it's just being more vocal and involved like a coach should be and less reactive like a fan is. I like Tomlin and I realize that I judge all coaches, particularly Steeer coaches, in light of one Chuck Noll and that may not be fair.

chaz has some big shoes for anyone to fill. he'd yank bradshaw in a minute when he was playing stupid. no nonsense approach every week. he wouldn't change for anyone. he had one purpose. win baby win and the players loved him for it. they showed it in their play. the G-men are the only team i can think of that have an old style coach like that. they hated coughlin at first, those players were soon gone and these players respect and play at a high level for the man.

Coughlin lost the locker room actually, he then softened his approach and thats when the players accepted him.

some of them and then several were gone. the hard practices continued and they bought into his approach. it has paid dividends for them.

You're wrong Mac, I live here, Coughlin changed his approach, he's not the same guy as he was when he got here and definitely not the same guy who coached Jax. They talked about it ad nauseum over here. He's still tough but he's not the drill sergeant guy anymore, he changed a big part of his approach.
