Rich Eisen’s Advice for Commanders HC Ron Rivera Regarding the Fiery Eric Bieniemy

I had an old school boss when I my first job out of college Staten Island Advance the editor his name was uh Les Troutman and he would smoke in his office you know that's awesome and he never ever complimented you ever never once now he would criticize it he'd pull you into his office tell you everything he did wrong oh never once you know that we would have a uh on a bulletin board he would once a month give out you know called the big a awards for the advance is what it was and if you're knit your Nate like if you won the big a award like that was huge and it was never like to your face it would just be typewritten out pegged to the bulletin board and that's how you would that's how you would get your once a month if you were lucky to even get your name on it for one article you wrote and it kind of got me ready for my career that I don't you know would be nice to get a pat on the back but don't expect it it's your hard work and the pressure you put on yourself and the standards you hold yourself to is what will get you through the day it kind of taught me that and then I went after three years writing for that newspaper I've kind of had enough I wanted to do this for a living I'll be honest I want to do this for a living okay and this is sports broadcasting I wanted to do that and um I went back to graduate school after three years of being in the real world and everybody else that was in my graduate class had just come from college no real world experience if you will just Academia and what have you and so the professor in charge of the final quarter at the middle school of Journalism which was a setup in Washington DC interestingly enough in Washington DC where our Bureau was set up for a bunch of small Market television stations that could not afford to have their own correspondent in Washington DC covering the local issues on Capitol Hill that are being discussed by their representatives in the House and Senate and so they would hire us as the correspondence through Northwestern and we would get real world experience and they would get actual stuff that they would put on the air so we would get stuff for our resume reel and the folks that were putting it on the air would get reports from Washington D.C and the guy was in charge of the bureau was named Lou Prado Die Hard Penn State guy and he broke his foot off in everybody's you know what and I was used to it so like my first piece that I did for the Middle School of Journalism Washington DC Bureau was to cover to cover because I wanted to do everything with sports it was to cover the Arkansas Razorbacks national championship team national championship game with the uh the Nolan Richardson 40 minutes of hell Corliss Williamson I I went on Capitol Hill and watched that game in a bar with a bunch of Capitol Hill staffers from the local Arkansas uh you know for the the senator staff and the and the House of Representatives okay who are representing Arkansas on Capitol Hill and I did that piece for one of the bureau's stations in in Little Rock it went National I don't know why they picked somebody picked it up and it was on Good Morning America I don't know why they did it but it happened and I thought to myself this is great like I won national and my first piece for Northwestern I uh I don't stink and I walked in the next day and Lou Prado ripped me and knew it like what are you gonna do next not even like hey good job no what are you gonna do next because that's the real world because you can't just rest on your laurels and a bunch of the students there complained about it and they complained about it and I think you know the school spoke to Professor Prado about his style but it served me very well no did you appreciate that type of I could handle it because I had the real world experience of my editor telling me nothing positive ever now my style as somebody who's now with us in a role of management which I can't believe I'm saying about myself I have a different style but I can see what the enemy's doing and I understand that a certain maybe Millennial has a problem with it but the this is my long-winded way of saying the commanders hired somebody this is not a leopard who has suddenly changed his spots because he's punched drunk with coordinator power this is Eric the enemy and you know Tyree kale took the coaching Patrick Mahomes took the coaching the cheetah tweeting out no other coach has your back like EB take that coaching and get better we all been through it's tough but I promise you it will make you better yes Jamal Charles added two cents remember the great Texas Longhorn I love EB I know he's a he coaches differently but I know one thing he can take another level though you know I mean he look we heard he got on Adrian Peterson I know I've seen it but it's not for everybody and and I think Rivera does say he put his foot in his mouth because he's letting what's going on behind the scenes out there but to me it's just like you hired him and you know I know much said you know you do go to him and just say hey maybe you want to take it down a little bit I don't know if I'd do that my high school basketball coach used to just scream at us Non-Stop and and at a certain point you start to tune them out you're just like all right man whatever like you just sit there it's just noise noise noise noise noise noise and then I'm gonna go play and so at some point you gotta wonder if it's going south here in Washington if it's not going the way in a positive direction they're not gonna fire the players well the ultimate problem for the enemy I think may not be his coaching style Maybe thorough in experience at the most important position in quarterback how is Sam Howell going to perform maybe he's coaching Sam differently I don't know I doubt it I have no idea but if if Sam Howell has a problem with the Enemy you know don't talk to the coach talk to my homes now Mahomes at Andy Reed as well I I I it's just my I go back and forth on it but it's just like some people just can't take the hard the hard it's not for everybody approach and I wouldn't have them change the thing I wouldn't have him change a thing because you hired him and now he might be you know just let him go you know you can talk to him and say a bunch of people are do you know hey I'm just letting you know people are knocking on my door you handle it how you want to see Fed and then if week one week two happens and it's suddenly going south then you got to step in maybe but I you know unfortunately I find it unfortunate what this is is it's setting up the enemy for the fall that it's his style oh yeah that's gonna be the cause of the problem this is Ron getting ahead of it I know you always thinking it's like three-dimensional chess with coaches but I also just think sometimes coaches just you know are like players they hit send too soon when they're in front of a live microphone that's why Robert Sala kind of like sat back when asked about his offensive line you know it's okay if you take two to three seconds to think about your answer and I always appreciate coaches sharing but I I I just say again I I had some really hard management early on in my career and it definitely at the time was really tough to take and if I had some ability to go to another coach or another editor and say hey this guy is such an a-hole I didn't might have taken that I doubt it different times we're talking about late 80s early 90s anyway but just let Biana b b enemy you hired him tell the guys to just you know bow up and talk to the Chiefs who have won Super Bowls with this guy in a position of barking at him talk to Adrian Peterson who's going to the hall and see what he can do there's a guy you hired see what you got catch the rich eyes and show every single day on the Roku Channel 12 to 3 Eastern for free
