    If true it runs the opposite of what many assumed based on his appearance.

    During the hiring process some felt that he didn't have a "look" for the head coaching position so they somewhat dismissed him.

    There were at least a few comments on the board about Philbins appearance alluding to a player wouldn't respond based on his looks.

    It shouldn't matter. People respond to leaders. Philben will be judged on his leadership not his looks or style.

    Philbin should ask him to do it. See if his money is where his mouth is.

    He looks like Larry Coker, which gave us UM fans a bad feeling.

    Last guy who didn't fit our HC look was Mike Tomlin. Hopefully this will make up for that failure.

    Now ain't THAT the truth? Vince Lombardi didn't look like one either until he started coaching

    To be fair, I can't remember another HC who inherited a better situation than Tomlin.

    Let's remember that the players were willing to do the same for Tony Sparano and Dave Wannstedt.

    This guy's got the look of Mary Samsonite/Swanson. Still a leader.

    "Thus far, in his limited time around the team, Gehring has been drawn to Joe Phibin, whom he described as being “magnetic.”

    This is pretty cool to hear.

    Maybe it's all the Total cereal he eats... Fun fact of the day, it you buy a bag of Total Cereal and smash the flakes up and put a magnet by the bag you will see a bunch of pieces of iron being attracted to the magnet. It's cool and freaky at the same time.

    Did you know it would take 9 bowls of Frosted Flakes to equal the nutrition in one bowl of Total? And if you think that one is crazy...

    Did you know it would take 100 Tony Sparanos and 300 Wanstaches to equal the amount of coaching skill in just one Joe Philbin?

    BTW how smashed up and how strong a magnet? Totally trying this...no pun intended.

    Are you referring to the thread where I and maybe 1 other person (maybe Section?) very tongue in cheek suggested Philbin wasn't handsome enough to be a head coach? The thread where we rated head coaches based on how attractive they were? If so, you took those comments a little too seriously.

    I was only half serious...but Mike McCoy was much much sexier than Philbin... :shifty:

    I second that, Mike Tomlin could be Barry Switzer. He inherited a premier QB and a very good D. Most coaches look good when paired to a top QB in this league.

    Just open the top of the bag (so that air can escape while you pummel the hell out of the bag without it exploding), and then roll the top of the bag down so no cereal goes flying out. Then just hulk smash the Total until its mostly super small crumbs. Trust me, when you start smashing the cereal you won't want to stop; it's quite therapeutic.

    As far as magnets go it doesn't have to be all that big, if you have a strong magnet on your fridge that should work. Don't use the weak magnets that barely stick to the fridge or the flimsy ones that Pizza places give out most of the time. The bigger/better the magnet the better the results, but you don't need to go out and buy a big/strong one.

    We should do this with our former coaches and then make Philban eat it for breakfast.

    I'm as optimistic as anyone about Philbin, but this is so strictly boilerplate that it might as well come pre-written by the NFL in the new hire media packet. I'd be more interested if someone didn't say this.

    Someone almost certainly said this about Tony Dungy at some point.

    Switzer.... Guy was an idiot, was handed a championship and then proceeded to screw up the Cowboys from that point on.
