It was curious why EB wasn't getting any other offers for head coaches so I started to do some more research. When EB was hired with Washington I was very happy. I wanted to see if he could replicate his success with KC here. At the time, many surmised that Eric was only successful because of Mahomes, and that EB did not have a hand in gameday preparations, so with a new start here we would know the full story as Rivera basically ceded all offensive control to EB and gave him full authority on that side of the ball.
During his hiring, many players like Terry approached him and said they desired an approach for tough love. EB was very chill with them and said in the official team video documentation and social media recordings of the conversation, "I appreciate it, when we can talk ball we can discuss more". And LeSean McCoy, former Chief, flipped out over EB and said he was overrated prompting KC players to defend their former OC.
During Keim's coverage of the OTA's he did notice that EB played a larger part than Washington camps in the past, and defensive players were complimentary like "it's a whole different vibe around here with him yelling". Keim wrote at least one ESPN piece and recorded a podcast about EB where he said that EB was tough but fair, and he wasn't always screaming or cussing at the players, if he did, it was because he had a high expectation and low tolerance for errors. Keim talks about the time Sam Howell made a mistake and EB didn't yell at him because Sam knew what he did, and as long as he understood that EB didn't feel the need to scream him out.
With all this crap dropping today about how EB is "too strict" for these young'uns it rubs me the wrong way, and if I was out on the field and some guy wouldn't get off my back I'd' flip out too, but I'm not a pro player. At the end of the day he is there to step your game up and take it to the next level. He has a high standard and expects you to play by t he same too, and if he doesn't, he's going to cusee you out. Again, this isn't Camp Gruden. Desean Jackson isn't here giving coach Gruden nipple twists lol. This is a new harsh camp. Tough love. Tough, but fair.
the go watch pbs or food network lol
even ciao house has some catty backtalking going on
