There has also been rumors of his worth ethic being a problem, or should I say lack of.

if the skins can sign mike anderson,and have a 1-2 punch better than csonka and kickk in 1972 miami,i would be happier than a frog on a lilly pad myself.if they could do that,they cut cut betts and i would not regret it at all.

Wasn't Betts part of the cell-phone crew? I know the finger instantly goes to Spurrier, but these guys are ADULTS that should be able to control themselves to say I can't talk now, I'm at work. I'm only 20 and my job isn't even really important. I either shut my cell phone off, send them straight to voice mail, or say I can't talk now.

i hate spurrier as you know Daseal,but you are absolutley 1000% correct on this one my friend.when you are making the kind of money these guys make
or even if you make the crappy wage that most of the rest of us make,have respect and do your best.if that means saying call back or talk later then so be it.

They are adults but it's still the duty of the coaching staff to lay down the law as to what is acceptable behavior on and off the field.

It goes both ways. If Spurrier let them get away with that crap then of course it's going to happen. Gibbs on the other hand is not going to let that stuff fly and I can guarantee he will let everyone know it right off the bat. As great of a X's and O's man Spurrier was (supposedly), he wasn't a good leader of men. And in football especially, argueably more than in any other sport, you have to be able to lead to be successful.

Do you think Spurrier could have success in the NFL as a O.C? I doubt he'd even get the chance now, but do you think if he was, he could have success?

You guys are judging a man on two years of experience. He made mistakes in Washington, nobody can deny that, but I don't think he's as bad as that. If we judge people on two years Jimmy Johnson would be flipping burgers along with Parcells, Bellicheck and Mariuchi.

i do'nt hold making mistakes on the field against tobc,but i absolutley blame the discipline problems on him.he also did not put in the work hours he should during the season it takes to run an nfl team either.when you let the players run the team,and you are'nt willing to work harder to help the team win yourself you lose more than win.if he would have cracked down on the players harder and put in the hours at redskin park,the skins would have been a lot more successful.when you are head coach,you and nobody else are responsible for wins and losses.not the players,or assisstants,you because you did not do your job well enough.spurrier was great in college because he could intimidate the college kids he coached.in the nfl he could not intimidate the players.that is one of the reasons he stunk in the nfl and ruled in college.

Not unless he could figure out how to protect the QB.

JohnnyRed, I will admit that Spurrier needed to put in more time and crack down on discipline. However, if he could do those two, I think he'd be a good head coach in the NFL. He knows football and he could run a high octane team. His system needs a little tweaking, but I think it can work. I think a mobile QB would help him a lot.
