Re: I find it interesting to see how Green Bay sees Joe Philbin so much differently then we do.......

I think it is the difference between earning respect and forcing respect... When he was in GB, he earned respect based on his actions. In Miami, he came in, and flexed his muscle in numerous ways, like a guy with first time power..Then his actions didn't seem to back up deserving that type of power and respect... He had the issues with the leadership council, Chad Johnson, Bush(?), the GM, then the whole Martin fiasco..
As a NFL HC I imagine it is a much different position then being an O coordinator at least from a players perspective... A HC probably has a tough time being your "friend" on a football team, where that is probably much easier for a coordinator or position coach to come from that position.. Look how many great coordinators/ position coach's failed to be able to transition to a great HC.. A big part of that is getting the team to respect or buy into what you are selling...
