Kim Jones: DRC Suspension Caused Dissention

adamg : 12/4/2017 11:55 am
Listening to NFL Network, she mentioned the DRC suspension as a big mistake by Mac. Said DRC tried to insert himself into the game while injured, i.e. play injured and Mac responded by saying "What the f*** are you doing?" and it escalated.

She said this was received very poorly by the locker room and played a role in the firing.

Thought this deserved its own thread.
Yeah just heard that and she made some great points

Was gonna say the same thing

She was going wild
McAdoo was pathetic  
jvm52106 : 12/4/2017 11:57 am : link
as a coach and as a "manager" of men. He just had no personality for the role and it wears thin on people quickly.
That's weird

And I'm not at all in favor of guys playing hurt. There have to be rules against it.
This did seem to be the first wheel to fall off the bus  
Rjanyg : 12/4/2017 11:58 am : link
not surprising
Did McAdoo ever  
Powerclean765 : 12/4/2017 12:00 pm : link
talk to anybody, ever?

That's been my lasting impression of him, both as OC and HC. He's never talking to anyone.

You have to have people skills to be a HC or OC in the NFL.
This is the first I am reading about this as what transpired

No. That's why I posted it. Some truths are coming out, it sounds like.

Yup...he was one of the guys always busting it to try and catch guys on long plays. Same with Collins
In Mac's

defense, he was probably just really surprised that DRC was willing to play hurt.
Now it's all coming out  
dpinzow : 12/4/2017 12:06 pm : link
and this makes McAdoo look worse. If DRC feels like he can play through a knock other than a concussion, he deserves the right to play through it as a critical player on the defense
Have to admit  
section125 : 12/4/2017 12:12 pm : link
DRC has been balling since he was returned to lineup.
It's often not what you say sometimes  
LauderdaleMatty : 12/4/2017 12:12 pm : link
But how your say if. Guy is trying to play hurt. Not smart maybe but athletes generally respect a guy trying "gut it out". Seems like McAdoo instead of talking to a respected vet blew it up.

More will Come out Like this. Character comes out in trying times. This guy pretty much made one mistake after another when things went sideways
Anyone have a link to Kim's segment?  
Ace718 : 12/4/2017 12:16 pm : link
Missed it and can't find it.
Damn she's still going!  
Route 9 : 12/4/2017 12:16 pm : link
She really liked Eli and lol, obviously couldn't stand Macadoo
I love Kim Jones.  
bceagle05 : 12/4/2017 12:17 pm : link
I freaking love her.
God

You have the wrong league, buddy. DRC stays out there if the doctor allows it. On this matter , what is different from when Parcells found out that Mark Collins was playing with a broken ankle against the Rams in the 89 playoff game , (Flipper Anderson) ? Like many things that happened to McAdoo, what he thought , said and did will end up being regarded as correct . His manner and the fact that he didn't have the chops to do so is what did him in.

Ben McAdoo was never truly the HC of this team. He was a caretaker . Guys like Parcells, Reeves and Coughlin would have told these people to piss up a drain pipe when they questioned their authority .

Spagnuolo is a Mara suckhole. There is a good chance he will be named permanent HC at some point. Already we're hearing the dreaded "player's coach" description .

Fear these days like none other if you are a Giant fan. They might be sinking into a slough of despair for many years .
Kim's great. SHould have been Jones and Carlin after Mike.  
Victor in CT : 12/4/2017 12:44 pm : link
I son't want Spags here anymore. I get they need somebody to run things for 4 games, but give him his Hefty bags now so he can be packed on Jan 2

McAdoo's problem is not WHAT he did, but HOW he did it; absolutely poor people skills.
Yes, he was correct in not letting DRC back into the game but Ben was the "adult" in that instance and should never have let the situation "escalate", especially when the player was trying to HELP his teammates.
The Manning situation was obviously more of the same.
