Harry Sydney on minicamps

[Guiness]

Earlier in the year everyone was calling him a moron when his comments were negative.

What's your point? Motife posted the article (he posts every article), and one person responded to it. Hardly "everybody."

No, it seemed like at one time or another everyone called Sidney an idiot or a moron.
Damn near all.....just thought it was funny that now anyone might say he's a real smart guy.....LOL....you people are fucking touchy....geez.

Sluuurrp. I don't know what you're talking about. Here, try some of this kool-aid. It's really good.


I think Sydney is like a bad soap opera. No continuity - he calls him as he sees them that day, with no regard for what happened yesterday. I think he'd be the kind of coach that starts the 2nd string QB because he's been throwing bullets in practice, and bench the starter who just had a rough outing.

I don't read his articles very often, but I don't recall reading a single one in which he did not bring up the fact he is a former player/coach. I've never cared much for his articles, whther he has a positive or negative slant.

When considering his comments on Mike Sherman, bear in mind that Sherman declined to retain him on the coaching staff when Sherman came in 2000. Sydney was runningbacks coach for four years under Holmgren and had been retained by Rhodes in 1999. Sherman canned him in favor of Kippy Brown in 2000.

Maybe it proves he makes a better coach than GM.

The part of the article I most hope he is right about is, " Then there is Scott Wells he has taken the job of center and grabbed it by the throat." That would be a big plus for the offense.

Harry Syndney is one of my favorite writers. Yes, he shoots from the hip, but he ends up being right more often than most.

Very encouraging words about Bookman and Wells, especially since those areas need help.
