Crazy MM stat

[Nv_Hawks]

Just heard on his presser. His first season in Baltimore, 8 games into the season his D was 22nd in league. After the 8th week, they ended up number 1. This year, through the Buffalo game, Hawks were 21st. Since that game, they are 2nd in defense. Both had mid season trades to acquire LB.

This guy is one hell of a defensive mind. Living up to the hype, and then some.

That’s a very comforting stat.

We should get him to move to Utah. He should be popping out a kid every week of the season from here on out.

To think people were killing the hire just a few weeks ago after less than half a year is wild. I still think its going to take another year for him to get all of his guys on defense but I love the way its trending.

The dude has that rarest of leadership qualities in that he admits fault and is genuinely always trying to get better. He's been frank at times in admitting erros and shortcomings he's had over the course of the season and has been transparent about how he (without giving up too much info) went about correcting things.

I mean, the dude was straight up about how his not yet having had a great grasp on his responsibilities was affecting his ability to coach the defense through mid season. Not many coaches have the humility to call themselves out in a way that is more than just the token 'thats on me'.

Its a great quality that i am sure the players respect the hell out of.

I liked him coming out of camp, but was concerned at the sloppy, undisciplined play over the first 8 games or so. But everything it seemed might be falling short whether from the coaching side or player side, he himself ackowledged and has systematically addressed. Cant ask for more than that.

Even last weeks locker room celebration, he said the first TD by AZ was his fault.

Great post. Coach Mike doesn't try to be something he's not. He doesn't claim to be great. He's constantly learning. In fact, he seems to embrace that he's new to coaching. He has no problem calling himself out. There's also something to be said for a guy being as young as he is. It likely helps him relate with today's players more, imo.
Also, it's very clear to me that if you don't produce on this team, you're done. I like it. Accountability. You can be tough w/out screaming and yelling all the time.

Thanks, and agree.

One of the best examples of honesty and accountability i have ever heard from a coach cane from him. He described a moment a few weeks ago (maybe before the bye) where he spoke about adjusting his time management so that he could be available to the defense during the week, given the rest of his responsibilities. He said they'd installed a gameplan early in the week but that when he finally wrapped completing the rest of his duties throughout the week, hed brainstormed a few tweaks he thought would be helpful. He said he stopped one of his defensive players in the hall and said ' hey, i was thinking maybe we could try 'x' if we see this sutuation and the opponent does 'y''. Whoever the player was said bluntly (paraphrasing) ' nah coach, too late, gameplanning is done already'. He said it was one of the moments that made him realize he needed to get on top of his process and schedule to make sure he put the D in the best possible position to succeed.

Glad we have the dude and hats off to JS for having the insight and wisdom to bring him in.

Def. not common at all to see a coach admit guilt. If anything, many of them double down on their mistakes and act like it didn't happen and/or it was the right decision etc.
Like the idiot in Chicago. Makes one of the worst decisions ever, then tells everyone it was a good choice.
I like Dan Campbell a lot. But........the whole "we do what we do" is pretty lame, to me. There's difference between doing what you do and being flat out careless. Being blatantly stubborn isn't always the best way to coach.
