clapping his hands in defeat,after a bad play,comming off the field after an interception against us, a 50 yard kick off return against us,almost after everything. Is this his way of support of sorry football or to let the team know he is still behind them. Or to just piss about 10,000 of us off. We have been talkin about this for a long time. A friend of mine that has seen 10 or 15 games everywhere with me and others just don't get it and it just gripes the hell out of us. We can't figure it out. We would start clapping like Phil before he started last night. I think we've got the hang of it. IT"S NOT PRETTY BY NO MEANS. Can someone please tell me why he does this and we are fed up with it? Signed Mad mo fo. (MILLS) P.S. I'm done with them but I'll watch because I'm thinking about next year.And I'm not going to be nice anymore on here about freakin Phil or the rest of his clowns.:mf_surrender: Be serious on replys.

It's not that hard to figure out. I manage 135 employees. 100 of them are $10/hr and less and make up the backbone of the grunt work.

If every time we messed up on something, I in front of all of them ripped them up and down, I'd lose them.

In front of a national TV audience, what do you expect him to do? He's not clapping out of happiness, he's clapping as a coping mechanism.

When the talking needs to be done, it's done off camera.

I'm sure there are some players who respond to up in your face yelling, but I wouldn't imagine that there are many on the team right now at 3-6.

...not many on the team now? How do we know? At 3-6, the continued clapping isn't doing much to motivate them.

Its pure support for his team good or bad. It is clear to me why many of you dont understand it.

Phil does not want to tarnish his image as a nice guy no matter how much of a bafoon it makes him. He has lost his fire, I can remember when he was the O line coach and he would get up in his O line faces and challenge them. The best thing Phil could do outside of resigning is everytime a player makes a bonehead play that player goes to the bench and find one who wants to win.

He had slowed the clapping for a while, but with more loses he has increased it. Maybe he needs to clap for himself when he retires and does not take the buy-out.

some people respond better to positive reinforcement than negative reinforcement.

phil's "style" has always seemed to lean towards positive instead of negative.

ditto on mack brown observed doing the same thing.

Back before he won a NC. I've seen Fulmer snatch them by the facemask. When a player screwed up, they would try to sneak off the field as far away from Phil as possible. He had no problem ripping them a new one. It must have worked. We were winners.

Now they screw up, and trot off the field laughing while Phil claps. That approach doesn't seem to be working.

he claps after good or bad plays b/c it looks like something a mature person would do rather than throw a hissy fit on the sidelines

as for what he's doing, probably at home crying -more likely depressed actually - at this point realizing he's about to lose his job...

Because youre not supporting your team.

Which coach do you want? :clapping: or :furious3:

I am supporting my team. I am tired of watching this decline over the last several years. All we had to do was replace a quarterback. We thought we had a chance to win the east. We are HORRIBLE.

I appreciate, respect, and admire Fulmer. I hope he goes gracefully and remains a part of the family.

How about Leach for HC and keep Chavis as DC?

I actually feel sorry for him, can't make much case for keeping him, but I'll guarantee he feels worse after each loss than anyone on here.

The clapping, "work like heck", and "watch the film" comments are habits. Nothing more, nothing less.

And you know this how?

Have you ever coached anything?

Angry correction in front of God and everybody will work for 1 in 10 players. The other 9 will tell you to f off (silently) or worse, shut down completely. A coach is a cheerleader in a manner of speaking.

If a coach acts like he's given up on the team, the team will give up.

Working wonders so far... if he claps enough, will OL actually improve?
