Re: Redskins coaches support owners in lockout
 

[quote=SmootSmack;804783]Not as far as I know. It's interesting that in the brief, Shanahan is mentioned as one of the coaches who may suffer from a prolonged lockout[/quote]

Reading an article on this I assumed our coaches only said something to clear the air b/c the brief cited damages to 8 new head coashes and 3 head coaches who have been retained for only 1 year (that includes shanahan).

I think our coaches said something to correct any misinterpretaiton that the skins coaching staff supports or was involved with the brief since the coaches association implicitly cited to the skins coaches when in actuality, the skins coaches were never contacted or conferred with re. the brief.

Geez, you would think they would have contacted the skins coaching staff before they pretty mich put their name on it.

That's the best explanation I've yet heard OTM

Re: Redskins coaches support owners in lockout
 

I haven't read the brief yet, but on its face I was dissappointed to read the Burgundy and Gold coaches aren't together with the other coaches in the NFL in supprt of the of the players.

I'd side with the person who signs my check.

Only an idiot wouldnt.

The way I heard it explained today on NFL Radio is this was the coaches not taking sides, but simply speaking out against the lockout in general. Apparently there was some miscommunication between the association and the Skins and the Skins may have jumped the gun a bit by issuing their statement without fully understanding the intent of the brief.

I find it ironic that average people would turn the other cheek or side with a person if they were being paid, YET are the same ones that bitch when their representatives and senators do the same thing. Guess what, don't bitch at politicians for siding(aka..voting) for special interests or corporate tax breaks. They too are being paid by them. I don't want to go off topic with this, but the above mindset is also mind boggling. It's one thing to side with the owners if you actually take their stance, it's another thing to take their stance soley for the fact you are being paid. If I were a coach, I would stay the **** out of it regardless if I were being paid or not.

Now, what the Redskins coaching staff has done is alienate the players and chosen a side. Pretty ****ing stupid imo.

Brilliant post!

Re: Redskins coaches support owners in lockout
 

Curiousity questions,

Did the Skins and Saints coaches let their position be known to the courts? If not, then the distancing statements wouldn't really affect the amicus brief, right? So what difference does it make in the long run?

Re: Redskins coaches support owners in lockout
 

I think they did it out of fear for their jobs.

The "power of money" mentality in this society is alarming.
