Everything he says is wishy-washy half in half out bullshit. There is no way this does not carry over into the locker room.
Schrödinger’s quarterback over here.
I honestly think it was just a slip of the tongue. It felt like he was trying to play along with the NFL’s rules about the definition of Questionable vs Doubtful vs Out to leave the possibility open and force the Panthers to game plan for it. Because technically there’s another day where he could theoretically get medically cleared, and then he’d play. But then let it slip that “Yeah, he’s not playing.” And then immediately went back to the vague “Doubtful” line.
Could be the case, but didn’t the OC already say the gameplan was going to be the same if it were Fields or Bagent?
Eberflus: “Hey, can I talk to you for a sec?”
Chicago media: “Yeah, hey!”
Eberflus: “Hey, um, I came up with a really great idea, dude.”
Chicago media: “Yeah?”
Eberflus: “I’m gonna play both sides.”
Chicago media: “Why would you tell me that?”
Eberflus: “Should I not have?”
Chicago media: “Probably shouldn’t, because if you’re trying to keep a secret from me, well, now I know.”
Eberflus: “Should I tell the Panthers?”
Chicago media: “No, I don’t think you should tell either side because if you’re trying to play both sides and they both know you’re not playing anybody.”
Eberflus: “What should I do now?”
Chicago media: “I don’t give a shit. Why are you here?”
Eberflus is a bumbling idiot. That’s the representative for our team folks. I want apples gone too, because he actually thinks this is the guy to lead our team. They’re both idiots.
Damn apples!
The head coach interview should be a press conference.
If we hire you, are you going to make us all sound like a bunch of assholes?
He’s 51% in and out.
From my understanding, if they designate him as out prior to the game, he can’t be dressed or participate in the pregame warm-ups.
My guess is that he is inactive but designated as Doubtful so he can participate in pregame warm-ups.
Could this just be an attempt at covering the game plan? Only way I can see and really back what Flus just did at the conference
I want Flus taken to where horses turn into glue. Wait, that’s a little harsh. Maybe a non Medicaid nursing home.
Flus might be the worst public communicator we’ve ever had as a head coach. I wonder if that at all translates to his ability to communicate to the players and staff
Well the weird thing is it seems like the guys like him and they haven’t stopped playing hard.
Honestly idk if I’ll really pay attention to this game if he’s out. I can only watch so many 3 yard screens and check downs before I fall asleep
Does Everflus even know what team he coaches?
He says he does. Or he doesn’t. There are some things about them he knows, but it is what it is.
“Anyway, as long as our guys go out and control the puck for 9 innings, I think we’ve got this one in the bag.”
Not showing his hand to the opposing defense, what a genius!
It is what it is with the injury. The real issue is this guy is a complete moron who can’t handle a basic press conference. How is he not more prepared for obvious questions he was going to get? If he can’t handle softball questions from the media how can he handle the communication you need to handle a locker room?
