He's THAT Guy

He's THAT guy. He's the my-way-or-the-highway type of guy who wants things done his way only. He probably knows Kyle needs development as a play caller to help with clock management and keeping defenses on their toes, but chose not to assist this year because he's THAT guy.

You know how some people get pissed they are about to be fired and go off? He's the guy who knows he's on his way to being canned and instead of shaping up decides to sabotage his team as his final "up yours" to the organization. Nevermind the fact that two Super Bowl wins with John Elway at quarterback would be enough to at least get on a ballot to Canton at some point in life, he'd much rather take his pride over doing what he's been paid $7M to do... win. He's THAT guy.

Yes, the read option offense caught the entire league off guard last year. Yes, it's probably a good idea to do a little something different so people don't know what's coming. Would last year's playbook have worked this year? Likely so. But whatever. He kept the same west coast offensive line, then tell them to play for a pocket passer (even though everyone knows he didn't build them operate like that anyway). He's that kind of guy.

Never talked to Haslett about making second half adjustments either. Must not have been important. And told Burns to keep up the good work. After all, he's THAT kind of guy.

Oh, and then don't forget to send a thank you card to whomever told you to change your entire offensive scheme from something that worked to something that doesn't. Not sure if it was the owner, or Griffin's father. Yep, be THAT kind of guy.

And when it's all over, get on a podium at a post game presser and give completely vague, useless answers about what he thinks (or doesn't think) is wrong. Doesn't matter, he's on his way to taking his iPad and two notebooks and going home (now THAT'S record time for cleaning out an office!). The whole while, the guys are covering his butt and saying it's their fault. He's THAT kinda guy.

Then don't forget he put useful players in the doghouse. Sure it would have been absolute murder on an opposing defense for Jordan Reed and Fred Davis to line up together. There's no way a team can simultaneously contain them both. And even though the season is over, it probably is a good idea to keep giving Robert SOME reps to aid with his recovery (keeping those fast twitch muscles on the up and up). He doesn't have to start, just get reps. Not important though since he's TRYING to be canned. He's THAT guy.

So basically since he was convinced to give up draft picks he didn't want to relinquish, he feels like some people are getting preferential treatment (even though he went the nepotistic route and hired HIS SON as offensive coordinator)... he decides that it's time to go. And since he can't just "quit" and hurt the boy, it's "easier" to get fired.

By any means necessary. Stir up controversy. Leak info to Schefty and friends. Tank fifty-three guys who put their faith, trust, and future in your hands. Cut your nose off despite your face. Then front and say the locker room isn't divided knowing full well it's been divided since week one. And didn't forget to take the final step of making it all believable by telling everyone how much you love your guys and then taking ownership of what he's done in week 13 by finally telling the media that it's his own fault that the team wasn't prepared to play.

Which is true. It IS his fault. We just didn't think somone could display a complete lack of pride in their work... never could imagine someone who had been called a "stand-up guy" on a number of occasions would actually do something so selfish like this ON PURPOSE.



Yep, he's THAT kind of guy.
