Tobin doesn't appreciate comments made by Mike McDaniel on Monday's Press Conference. The Fins Head Coach gets personal and calls out Zach Sieler making a mistake, is he being sincere? Is it a possibility that Mike McDaniel may lose his job after Week 3?
00:00I will say, I got mad at Mike McDaniel yesterday because he pulled a move that I was not happy with.
00:06I mean, his press conference was particularly awful.
00:09Like, Mike McDaniel's a tough listen on a win streak.
00:12Getting your ass kicked 33-8, Leroy?
00:16Wow.
00:16I mean, it's tough.
00:19But I thought he pulled a weasel move yesterday.
00:22I thought he pulled a weasel move yesterday for our boy Zach Seeler, right?
00:26Because Zach Seeler's been, like, the epitome of all things of what they're trying to fold.
00:31And, yes, the defense did not have an impact.
00:33That's for sure.
00:34All right?
00:35So I'm not skating Zach Seeler as of right now.
00:38You're on trend for fat cat syndrome, dude.
00:42You need to go get some sacks.
00:44But I didn't like that he thought he could use an example of Zach Seeler because he knows Zach Seeler's a man's man and can take it.
00:52I didn't like that.
00:53I have, like, you either call people out or you don't.
00:56You've never been a call-out guy, and you decided to throw Zach Seeler under the bus yesterday, and I didn't like it.
01:03I didn't like it, and also, I didn't like it.
01:07It was weasel behavior.
01:10No, I didn't like it.
01:12This was, this was, no, I didn't like it.
01:16You gotta, let me get this guy here.
01:18He was ridiculous.
01:19The, the mental focus on what the physical is.
01:24It was, there was no lack of physicality.
01:28Okay, there's, I'll give an example.
01:30All right, so there's probably, I mean, every starter on the tape that I was pointing out, but just so you guys, you know, it's not my, I don't make a habit of putting family business and just, you know, out, out on, at the podium.
01:51But, for example, say, there was one, there was one play that ultimately led to being an explosive that the, the utmost dependable player, Zach Seeler, in an attempt to get a sack at the final stage of a pass rush, kind of voids his pass rush lane.
02:18Well-intentioned, well-intentioned, trying to make a play, but the, you know, the dropping of rush lanes allows for an explosive that, you know, you have to learn how to, with new teammates, play with them and lean on them and trust them.
02:39So, typical rat behavior.
02:43This is what I don't, you either don't talk about family business or you do.
02:47And now all of a sudden, oh, I know who I can say and he won't get mad at me.
02:51I'll say it about my guy, Zach Seeler.
02:55And I'll say he made a mistake because I know he won't make a stink.
02:58Bet your ass if Tyreek Hill didn't know and don't know around, he wouldn't say nothing about it.
03:02And so, you throw my guy under the bus because the ships are sinking, I don't like it, Leroy.
03:09That's not why, that's not why you do that.
03:11It stinks.
03:12That's not why you do that, though.
03:16You do it, one, because you're right.
03:19He can take it.
03:20But if everybody else sees that he's doing it a certain way, then they will all follow suit and kind of get in line.
03:34I'm telling you why he does it.
03:35I'll tell you why.
03:36Because you know what?
03:37He'll call out people in a minute.
03:38But why do you do it in the media?
03:40Because Zach Seeler won't make a stink.
03:42Because he's a man's man.
03:43Right.
03:44So, from my standpoint, here's why.
03:46It's the only reason you're saying that for me is to say that I call players out in the media.
03:52That's the only benefit of him doing that.
03:54Yep, it is.
03:55It's 100% a rat move by him.
03:57The only reason he's putting Zach.
03:59Because he even was like, guys, you know, I don't do this.
04:04And I'm sitting here and be like, well, either you do it or you don't do it.
04:08Why are you making an example out of Zach Seeler?
04:10Why are you trying to hurt his pride?
04:12Oh, I know why.
04:13Because you can't.
04:15But that's why you do it.
04:16No, because you use him because you know he won't.
04:19Right.
04:20And that's why.
04:21It's an easy thing to do.
04:23It's a weasel move.
04:25I didn't like it.
04:26It happens more than you think.
04:29I don't think.
04:29Does it?
04:30Yeah.
04:31He just said, I don't do this.
04:32No, but here's when you're going to take that step to hold everybody accountable.
04:43Right?
04:43You start at the top and work your way down.
04:47Calling out a rookie does nothing.
04:50That's low hanging fruit.
04:51Calling out a backup is low hanging fruit.
04:55But if you call out a captain, right?
04:58One that understands it.
05:00And sometimes they'll either even pre-warn you.
05:03I've been warned.
05:04Hey, I'm going to call you out for fumbling.
05:06I'm like, okay.
05:08Right?
05:09Then you understand.
05:11And everybody else kind of falls in line.
05:14Um, so it's, you know, you, you got to do it strategically.
05:22Um, and you have to do it to a guy who's not going to maybe react like Tyreek would.
05:28I don't like it.
05:29That that's kind of one of the reasons why Tyreek is not a captain.
05:32Well, I get it.
05:33No, I understand why you're not going to call Tyreek Hill out.
05:36But I'm saying like, if you're a not talk about business guy, that's not your thing.
05:40Then don't do it.
05:40Why are you doing it now?
05:41Because you feel obligated after a 33, eight ask him to do it publicly.
05:45No, that's not why.
05:46That's what it feels like.
05:48Okay.
05:48That's what it feels like.
05:49Hey, you, you know, I mean, I like, I'm telling you why they do it.
05:56It gets to the point where you got to almost call out the stars so that everybody else falls
06:06in line so that everybody else understands, Hey, we have a job.
06:11We have rules that we have to pay attention to, to keep the integrity of the play going
06:18or the rush.
06:18And if your stars are not doing that, then nobody's going to follow suit.
06:25So yeah, I understand why he did it.
06:30Um, it happens.
06:32Um, but here's the deal.
06:36Whether you get called out or not, if you did the wrong thing and you get held accountable,
06:41so be it.
06:43You understand what I'm saying?
06:45So be it.
06:46I don't, I'm sure that there's plenty of accountability in meetings.
06:48I'm talking about strategically doing it in the media.
06:51And I'm like, Oh, I see what you're doing here.
06:54Now all of a sudden I'm going to point fingers to my most non-drama guy to see, like, I got
07:00this under control.
07:01I'll call out Zach seal.
07:02And it's like, yeah, you called out Zach seal.
07:03It's a big deal.
07:03Like, you know, Zach sealer's word is he's a man's man.
07:07You know, he's going to go talk to kids and answer questions, but I don't, that's the
07:10kind of gentleman he is.
07:11But I don't, I don't, I don't, the thing that I don't get is whether you get called out or
07:17not, if you made a mistake, you got to be accountable for it.
07:21Sure.
07:22Sure.
07:22But you, but if you're the guy who, if I, so, so here's the deal, he says it himself.
07:27I'm telling you what he says it himself.
07:29It's off.
07:30It's, it's off key for Mike McDaniel.
07:31I don't typically put family business out there, but I feel the need after an ass kicking
07:36to put some names to it.
07:38All right.
07:39And you put your guy out there.
07:40So think about this.
07:42He said that about Zach sealer.
07:45What's the difference in him saying that about Zach sealer or having a reporter ask about it?
07:52You know what I mean?
07:54So a reporter, like, so when Omar asked to about the turnovers coming in bunches or stuff
08:01like that, right?
08:02We all know that, look, we can't turn the ball over.
08:08Like we know that for a fact.
08:09Like if I, if somebody says that and I fumble twice, hell, everybody knows me.
08:15Everybody know I'm about to get that smoke.
08:18Right.
08:18So like you're a grown ass man.
08:22Like if, if a coach call you out or say something about a mistake you made on it, you better.
08:31Like it doesn't like, there's no, there's no nice way to go about this.
08:37Yeah.
08:37But it's not, it's not, it's not sincere to me.
08:40That's what I'm saying.
08:40Like the public call out isn't sincere.
08:42It's not about the fact that Zach sealer did out of his character.
08:45Yeah.
08:45It's out of his character.
08:46And now that the, now that the ship seems to be sinking, you're taking names with you
08:50or you're not sinking.
08:53It's, it's taking on water.
08:54It's not the name to be calling out.
08:57It's your quarterback that you should have been calling out.
08:59Right.
09:00And that much, that much, that much, that much I agree with, but Vlad, as a coach, you have
09:10to be careful with the different temperaments you have on the team.
09:15Right.
09:16For years, man.
09:17But, but it don't make, it doesn't change your temperament.
09:20I get it.
09:21But your quarterback can't be sensitive to be being criticized.
09:24And I get, I understand, I understand, I understand.
09:28Lever, I'm not in the locker room.
09:30I'm just saying from the outside, not you.
09:34So get, take that.
09:35You're not in the locker room anymore.
09:37Take that away.
09:38From the outside, all us regular non-football players would think after four years, the
09:46quarterback can't be sensitive if he has a crappy game and he's getting called out.
09:51But you're a sense, but, but certain people like here, think about this.
09:57Think about the relationship of Mike McDaniel and Tua when they came, when, when Mike McDaniel
10:02came here, he was fragile, right?
10:06Broken.
10:07So you, you, you got to kind of be careful with that.
10:11And I'm not saying he shouldn't be called out and I'm not saying he shouldn't be held
10:15accountable for his mistakes.
10:17Right.
10:18Um, but your personality is your personality for the same reason why he won't call out
10:25Tyreek.
10:26And Tyreek was already hot on the sidelines for reasons nobody knows.
10:30And I agree with you, but Tobin, you made a great point.
10:32I don't know if it was on your, your YouTube channel, the Tobin YouTube channel, or you
10:36said after he got that contract last year, and then he went on the Levitard show, that
10:43man was, he was peacocking.
10:44He definitely was peacocking.
10:45He was definitely peacocking and in all of a sudden, the minute it, to be honest with
10:50you, the minute after he started peacocking, that's when everything went, he started having,
10:54everything's been going bad since then to be quite honest.
10:57It hasn't.
10:57Well, no, it's been a disaster.
10:58I mean, he's, he's, he's had a, he's, he's had a head injury, a hip injury and two out
11:04of his last three games, he's thrown three turnovers and they've been in very critical
11:08games for the team.
11:09So to me, you can't be sensitive when you calling out, Hey, you know, the person that
11:13was previously here, he was so bad.
11:16He, you know, everybody here was upset with him and all that stuff.
11:19You started talking and you felt free to let yourself be heard to, to be, you were more
11:25comfortable expressing yourself.
11:27So when you get more comfortable to be, to express yourself, you should be more comfortable
11:31to get critique as well.
11:33You know what I would also say, I would say this for everybody on that team is that when
11:42you think about being more physical and think about, you know, having a culture, part of
11:51that is being able to handle being accountable.
11:57Right.
11:58Right.
11:58And, and, and so I do understand from the standpoint, everybody is accountable for what you do on
12:08that football field.
12:10That being said, as a coach, you also have to manage personalities and you, a person that
12:19plays that position that you already know what you had to do to get him to this point of being
12:27positive and confident, right?
12:30You, you have to be careful with how you do that.
12:33It is, but it doesn't, it doesn't mean that you just move on and not hold them accountable.
12:41It just means the way in which you do it has to take that into account.
12:48Right.
12:48But I think that, you know, when we say, why does he pick Zach Sealer?
12:51We know he's not sensitive.
12:52Like Zach Sealer, that's what the money's for.
12:54You're the, you're the face of the defense now.
12:56What, when is it with that for the quarterback?
12:58You know?
12:59Well, but again, you're taking the position and I'm looking at the person.
13:08So I don't care how much money you get paid.
13:11I don't care what position you play.
13:15Your personality is still your personality.
13:18And I think sometimes Mike tiptoes around that.
13:23Whereas if you go old school, like Bill Parcells, he ain't give a damn.
13:28Right?
13:28He did not give a damn.
13:29But guess what?
13:30But guess what?
13:31Look at athletes now.
13:33That plays a bigger role as far as what athletes are now in any sport more than how the coach approaches it or holding one guy accountable versus not.
13:47I'd say Spoh could go to UD or go to D-Wade and talk to them in a different way than he could talk to LeBron.
14:00Right?
14:00Because their personalities are different.
14:02So while I get what you're saying, like when people talk about head coaches, the biggest thing they talk about is managing personalities.
14:13And that's the part that you have to be careful with, how you go about doing things like this.
14:20Yeah.
14:20But we got to get to break.
14:21But this is the one thing I would say about Spoh.
14:24Unless Spoh's asked about it, he's like, that's why the Kalel thing was so rare.
14:28And he didn't do it to somebody who probably would be sensitive about it.
14:31Like he does it to mean something.
14:33And so like, I'm like, oh.
14:35Yeah, but he knows Kalel can handle it.
14:37I don't know if he knows that.
14:39He's been with that dude.
14:40He knows the temperament of Kalel.
14:43And guess what?
14:44When he did it, what happened?
14:46Had a good game.
14:47Right.
14:47So he responds to that.
14:51So like, and guess what?
14:53He did it in summer league and not during the regular season.
14:57So maybe he was putting it out there to see how he would respond.
15:02A little chum in the water.
15:03Yes, exactly.
15:04So what if Zach Sealer responds by stuffing McDaniel in the locker?
15:09Then guess what?
15:10Then the next game, then the next game, he'll be, he'll be more physical.
