Cooley said he believed most of the pointing and yelling among players right before the snap was in part due to the calls coming in late because Barry was trying to make the perfect call rather than just a good call.
All that being said he placed the bulk of the blame on the players.

I remember perfectly Cooley saying that.
A few days ago he also made a good point, imo, saying the promotion from within was good from an accountability standpoint.
Like, players who didn't buy into the system, didn't play what they were supposed to play, and brought a bad energy into the locker room (in the segment you talked about he pointed out the DB room which seemed to be an awful mess) do not get a free card.
A new guy coming in wouldn't know about the player's attitude from last year. Manusky will be able to say "you acted like a selfish child last year, you better get your shit together under my watch". Well, he has to be able to do that.
