More imitating of Hawks procedures

[Hawkfan77]

Sorry guys. I figured music at practice was such a trivial topic that my post wouldn't be taken as offensive.

It certainly wasn't meant to offensive or to offend anyone.

In any case, just so you guys know where I was coming from, re: 3/4s of NFL teams playing music at practice, from October of '14:

Sixteen NFL teams now pump music into their practices and another eight use a mixture of songs and the old crowd noise. Seven still use just the white noise and one team — the Rams — doesn’t use any form of noise.

As for if Chip or Pete was doing this at the NFL level first (I know college teams and college coaches have been doing it for awhile), the first I had heard of it was back in May of '13 w/ Chip Kelly at OTAs:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100000 ... -selection

and also about him doing it back at UofO: http://igglesblitz.com/2013/08/chip-kel ... e-methods/

The first time I heard about Carroll doing it was a few months later at minicamp in the big ESPN profile on how he ran the Hawks: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/95819 ... n-magazine

If he had been doing it since he came back to the NFL in 2010 though, my mistake. I guess I just hadn't heard about it and in a quick google perusal the first mention I saw of it was what I remembered from the ESPN piece above. Happy to wrong though, cuz really, it's not that big of deal IMO. I only remembered about hearing about Kelly doing it during OTAs and then seeing that Carroll was also doing at minicamp b/c I thought it was kinda neat. I seriously wasn't trying to offend or derail the thread into a bunch of people posting about me. :th2thumbs:

This is your MO though. You come into a thread call the OP a liar, get proven wrong and try to act like its no big deal. Or that the topic is "trivial". If it's so trivial, why even comment?

Pete was also doing this at USC within the first couple years he was there.

 

[hawknation2015]

Uh, 3/4s of the league is playing music during practice.

IIRC Chip Kelly was doing this at the NFL level before Carroll or was at least doing it concurrently.

Kelly, like a lot of other coaches, took it from Pete. Give credit where credit is due.

if its no big deal then why do you need to go find 4 different sources that don't even really support your argument in the first place? So because YOU only heard about Carrol doing it a "few months later" then lord knows you must be right, because all knowledge begins, and ends with popeye....lol anyway, The medical establishment really needs to investigate the link's between Internet trolls, and mental illness....I would seriously friggin love to read that report.

You forgot, he also insults us by passive-aggresively apologizing for the 'offense' we took over the triviality, when it's pretty obvious no one was offended and were just mocking his ignorance and lack of trolling skills.

Pete Carroll did it first at the NFL level. Chip Kelly does it too, but he also did it at the college level, so it's not like he's imitating Pete. He is just doing what he already did. It just happens that Pete was doing it here first.

 

[kearly]

Pete did it first. Everyone else did it later. Probably because they were copying Pete in most cases. If anyone didn't know that, that's on them. The end.

 

[Popeyejones]

thanks for the '10 links Mcgruff.

I linked to that ESPN piece above too (the first time I heard about it), and agreed it's a great one.

This is your MO though. You come into a thread call the OP a liar, get proven wrong and try to act like its no big deal. Or that the topic is "trivial". If it's so trivial, why even comment?

Just as a point of clarification I unequivocally did not call the op a liar.

I said 3/4s of the league plays music during practice (which is true, I linked it) and said IIRC Chip was the first guy to port it from college to the nfl. I was saying I thought my own post was trivial; not the type of thing that was intended to flame or would result in a bunch of folks getting angry.

My response was detailed because I wanted to provide details to what I had said. That strikes me as reasonable: one thing I said was true and I linked it and apologized if I Pete had been playing music at practice since before Kelly and I only heard about in the national media after Kelly. Make sense?

Here it is guys: I WAS WRONG. P.C. PLAYED MUSIC AT NFL PRACTICE BEFORE KELLY.

Let's all sleep easy tonight.

Pete was doing it before Chip Kelly was ever a head coach in college, so he was doing it first there too.

 

[HawkAroundTheClock]

It's all good. You just made a claim that is well known around here to be untrue. No anger, no offense. A quick reaction maybe, but that's because we saw our coach get all kinds of flack in the conventional-thinking mainstream media and the opposing fans' message boards for his unusual methods those first few years. We saw all kinds of crap from 9er fans about his two 7-9 starts that people outside the 12s seemed to think confirmed their suspicions.

Many of us knew he was onto something big and we stuck by him and the rest of the front office. Now that our patience and foresight have been upheld, now that our coach is carrying out his promise to try to do his job better than it's ever been done before, now that lesser organizations are copying his recently mocked tactics, we're not about to sit idle while anyone tries to discredit his innovative, unconventional approach.

Pete Carroll is leading his team and its fans like no other coach in the NFL. The man so derided by opposing fans, ex-players, talking heads, and unnamed sources just a few seasons ago is now the envy of the football world. That is all.

True. But my point is simply that Chip Kelly is not playing music at practice in the NFL because Pete Carroll is playing music at practice in the NFL. He'd most likely be doing it anyway, even if Pete was still coaching college. That's all.

Y'all gotta give Popeye some room here.
