John Madden on Singletary's sideline tactics: "That's not coaching"

Wow, I disagree with John Madden on this issue. I think coaching is all about teaching. They shouldn't call them coaches, they should call them teachers.
Some coaches scream all the time and never tell a player what he's doing wrong. In my opinion they are not coaches, they are screamers. Good coaches will scream at a player to try and motivate him after he's been taught the correct way more than once.

I don't see Singletary as a screamer. I think he's more of a teacher than a screamer. I think Singletary was trying to motivate Alex more than anything else. If Singletary is like me, he is sick and tired of Alex lacking mental toughness. I think Alex has all of the tools to be a good QB except for mental toughness.

singletary is an idiot

Most coaches were teachers at one point in their lives.

he would be an excellent assistant HC

unless he learns to gameplan and manage games better he will never be a good HC

Agree

"It's like if I didn't have a calender I wouldn't know what day it was. If I didn't have a clock I wouldn't know what time it was. Then he fires him up puts him back in the game he's 5 for 5 and BOOM touchdown that equals 6 points."

True, I don't know why Madden made those statements.

I look at it this way, it could be worse. We could have Wade Phillips as our coach or Matt Millen as our GM. Thats the silver lining in the cloud for me.

The really funny part about that article is that the d-bag who wrote it obviously never saw Madden coach. He yelled his @ss off at his guys.

Alex was a completely different QB after Sing got on his ass; I see no wrong in what he did. It worked, did it not?

What the fu*k does John Madden know?

He is the most overrated head coach of all time

He doesn't belong in the hall of fame.

This guy is only famous because of his ''what the fu*k is he talking about '' commentary and video game franchise.


''Tom Brady and the Patriots should just take a knee and go into overtime.''

Exactly, he probably would have disagreed with the way Sing teated Vernon as well.

Madden's overall winning percentage, including playoff games, ranks second in league history.

He won a Super Bowl and never had a losing season as a head coach.

Madden has a winning record as a head coach against other future Hall of Fame head coaches.

After coaching he went on to a broadcast career that I hear was somewhat successful.

He knows more about football in one fingernail than you ever will know about football in your lifetime.

Also he's allowed one comment he probably would like to have back in 30 years of broadcasting.

though Madden was the man, you have to admit following the games he commentated on for the last 10 years of his broadcast career were nearly unbearable. he sounded like a senile blubber factory.
