ORIGINAL: David Levine Dungy. Tomlin. Stefanski? Wilfs could see what Dabo wants. Maybe Bieniemy. I would stop pulling for the Vikings instantly if Dabo were the coach. I think he's probably a decent guy overall, but a massive bloviating hypocritical cliche-meister who thinks everyone has to be just like him and his kind. Hardest of hard passes..... I must have missed something. What does "his kind" mean? Essentially people who agree with him about everything, and conduct themselves within narrow parameters. Not necessarily strict racial, religious, or political alignment, but not far off, either. I would doubt he is a racist with all the close relationships he has with his players. I'm guessing he is Christian and is not a Liberal. Is that the problem? He seems, to me, from a distance---but with a megaphone---like he falls into the broad swath of Americans and human kind that I call "otherists." We see it in here, and I'm sure at times I practice it in ways I may or may not be aware of. It doesn't have to be racial, religious, or political, but it often is, at least just below the surface. I just know that I've read enough cringe-worthy quotes from him over the years regarding how grateful his players should be that they're not burdened with making money off the game, politics, religion, etc. To be clear, I've never heard anything directly racist, and I've seen some great things he's said. But even those things seemed mere pablum from a cliche-meister like him. Maybe I'd be swayed by closer examination, but my suspicion is that it would be the opposite. He also seems like too much of a personal control freak to get NFL players to buy in long-term.
