[desertdawg]

He feels he has let the fans down.

 

[desertdawg]

It wasn't an effort problem yesterday, we made some mistakes.

 

[desertdawg]

"I talk to Michael everyday."

 

[JeffGollin]

It wasn't an effort problem yesterday, we made some mistakes.

Well (under) stated.

 

[desertdawg]

Took a shot at Kolb's health.

 

[PJ1]

It wasn't an effort problem yesterday, we made some mistakes.

Oh really. Then we must really be bad.

 

[desertdawg]

He won't put an assessment on the phone calls between he and Michael. Said he doesn't know where DD's head is at. Said to ask him.

 

[desertdawg]

"If you win some games, things can change rather quickly."

 

[TRW]

The reporters should have been there to see if Whisenhunt showed up and was still HC. When he did, they should all have said "No questions." and left.

Nothing they can ask/he can say about yesterday that amounts to a hill of beans.

 

[NJCardFan]

Took a shot at Kolb's health.

And who brought him in in the first place?

 

[desertdawg]

He keeps mentioning our defense not stopping the chickens, but hasn't brought up his goose egg once. Now he sticking up for Grimm and Miller, saying they've put in a lot of hours. Said it's inapropriate to talk about coaching changes. He always looks to get better at coaching.

 

[desertdawg]

Nobody asked him if he remembered the Alamo or our last TD...

He has lost this team, he'd be better off taking some time away from coaching, analyze his performance, and come back someplace else.

This%^^%%%^^

It's got to be hell going up there to talk about this but then again it's a self inflicted wound.

Darren Urban ‏@Cardschatter
Whiz, saying he isn't going to be worried about his future: "I control things I can control."

Darren Urban ‏@Cardschatter
Whiz on addressing QB in offseason: "I don't know what will be available in the draft and free agency, but you have to look at all options."

Darren Urban ‏@Cardschatter
Whiz wouldn't talk about any potential coach staff changes: "I don't think that is appropriate to talk about right now."

Mike Jurecki ‏@mikejurecki
Yes RT @azcards77: is AW under contract after this year?

Mike Jurecki ‏@mikejurecki
Whiz discussing QB re offseason: "I don't know what will be available in the draft & free agency, but you have to look at all options."

Mike Jurecki ‏@mikejurecki
Whiz didn't announce who the starting QB will be against the Lions, my guess Kolb isn't available this week. #lindley #skelton

Darren Urban ‏@Cardschatter
Just that possibility of shutting him down would be "a medical decision" RT @stubbyj23: @Cardschatter Did they bring up Kolb's situation?

So he is going to fire himself ?

Hey, like it or not, Kevin Kolb will probably cost Whis his job so if Whis wants to take a shot, let him.

The one thing I like about Whis is he doesnt' spout off. He does give pretty real answers. It isn't appropriate to talk about other coaches future because he doesn't know what is is going to be. He doesn't speak for other players. It doesn't bother me that he says he is disappointed in the defense because they should be disappointed at themselves. Part of being a team is that you cover for the other unit if needed. Everyone knows their isn't a solution for our QB situation out there so it is ridiculous to throw in the towel.

Despite his inability to improve the QB position (which then improves our offense) there are still many things Coach Whis does very well.

 

[conraddobler]

Crickets, chirp chirp.

That one scene in the movie where no one goes to class but the seats are all full of recorders.

That's what I'd do if I were these reporters, just leave a recorder, there's just no point.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Seriously... who cares what Whiz has to say to the media?? Do you think he will come out and say anything that means anything??
He will always provide his standard lines of B.S. And frankly, I really wouldn't expect anything different. I mean, he's not going stand there and say,
"Yes, I screwed up with Kolb. I also screwed up in drafting Lindley and not otherwise finding a more NFL-quality back-up. Further, I really messed up in not finding a quality RB, even though I knew Beanie is made of glass and, well... I guess so is Ryan Williams. Yea, signing Heap looks pretty stupid too... and, well, sure, starting the year with 2 rookies at the tackle position in Batiste and Massie was a stretch I guess...
And, yea... after all these years it does look like Russ really isn't able to coach up our linemen...
And - well, Mike Miller... ok. He sucks doesn't he?
And I'm really not sure why our #1 pick hasn't been able to be coached up either... Maybe the perception of tough academic standards at Notre Dame really is just that, perception?"

Whew... I feel better now... Thanks Whiz!

I think he needs to channel some of his inner Bobby Knight.

 

[Stronso]

Instead of Whisenhunt showing up lil Mikey should've walked up to the mic and announced that the HC and GM were fired. But he doesnt have the balls for that.

**** this ****ing team

 

[Chopper0080]

I have never liked overly emotional head coaches. Personally I think a team should reflect their coach and I want a coach who is calm under pressure.

I agree with this a 110%

There's calm then there's just disconnected.
