I think it shows the team belongs to him for one.
Secondly, I think he is VERY cautious of his emotions in public. He is very guarded. I also think he lets his hair down with the guys on occasion. I also think the video of his speech had the dancing edited out because Philbin feels that kind of stuff is for the team only.

 

I think it may put to rest the myth that Philbin is 'stiff' and lacking in personality....

 

WHat I took from it is that the players like their coach.

It's nice to see that publicly.

 

Gut: Umm .... you gonna smile dude?

Analytical: "Look guys, I'm all business. And I want you to be all business. We won today because we prepared and executed better than the opponent, and we need to keep this up week to week. I'm not a flamboyant guy, and I'm not going to start now. I'm all business, and I want to portray this even after an exciting first win. Of course it's good to get it out of the way, and I'm thrilled, but if I celebrate too much, you guys may start to think this stuff is easy, or that I'm a little softy. But it isn't easy, and I'm not soft - I want instill a winning attitude in you guys, and I want you to come and expect to win, not be surprised by it. That's the way we did it in GB, and I want to do that here. Yes, thanks for the shower guys, I'm very happy to be appreciated and recognized, but let's not act like we just won the Superbowl, OK. The next time you give me a shower, it better be because we just earned a trip to the Superbowl. Now, go enjoy this tonight, and let's get back to work on the Jets tomorrow."

 

He didn't display a single ****.

 

Is there video of the gatorade bath? i missed it.

 

He looked at his players like this aint the super bowl!!! There is a ton of work to do so instead of jumping for joy about beating the sorry *** Oakland Raiders walk off the field and start thinking about how to get better...

Thats what i got out of it

 

Precisely.

What I said in the gameday thread was "I think he's got bigger goals in mind than just one win."

 

Bit embarrassing to be honest. As mentioned earlier its the Raiders who were hampered by scheduling and a load of travelling in a shorter week in the Miami heat.

Embarrassing the players acted like a playoff victory against a quality opponent, totally understand the emotions but that's what they are paid good money to do (win games)

 

It was his first win as an NFL head coach. **** yeah, he deserved that.

 

The look I saw was "WTF.....what the hell are you guys thinking. We won one lousy game. Leave that sh*t for when we start winning games in January and February."

 

Am i missing something? I don't see what there is to analize. Did Philbin comment on it? I just saw it happen then he walked on the field to shake hands with the other coach.

 

I didn't see a reaction.

 

I would love to comment but from what I saw there was nothing to comment about. If I remember correctly all I saw was his back get dosed with gatorade and saw nothing but his back walk away on his way to shake the other coaches hand. Did the cameras even show a reaction out of him? If so, I don't remember seeing anything except what I explained.

 

Yes he did and I'm glad he looked like he didn't think so! Or like it was no big deal..

 

Philbin needs to let his hair down more often.

 

...fry it up in a pan

 

What hair ... he ain't got none!:lol:

 

Sort of related but how would yuou guys feel if the Jets give Sparano a Gatorade shower? Personally, I would be pissed. The Ravens gave one to Cam Cameron when they beat us the following season. I find it disrespectful but that's just my opinion.
