[ice grillin you]

[MDS]

get. over. your. self.

A lot of this talk is coming out now how Chip cannot handle strong personalities in the locker room.

Does anyone buy this?

[ice grillin you]

hes a massive control freak...he tracks players sleeping habits for god sakes...of course he doesnt want people with strong personalities...stay in your lane follow the system and lets go

you needed to hear talk about this now to know this?

hes been in the league for two years

[PhillyPhreak54]

I don't believe that he cannot handle strong personalities though. In every business in this world there will be strong personalities and you cannot be a CEO, manager or a head coach and not have to deal with them. And you don't hire a guy and pay him $6M a year if he cannot deal with stronger personalities.

Chip's fine with strong personalities so long as they fit his type.  By all accounts DeMeco is a strong personality. 

But the strong/vocal leader type that he wants has to be willing to do it within the system.  I absolutely believe he has a dislike for people who think they know better than he does or want autonomy.

The consensus that is being spouted is that was one reason Shady was sent packing - I guess every release is going to be tied into this since DeSean was a strong personality.

thats an irrelevant question because he doesnt want to deal with them to begin with...they will be gone sooner rather than later so hes never really going to be with them long enough to "handle" them...that being said i think shady had a lot more to do with money than personality...altho his personality certainly didnt help

[PhillyPhreak54]

I know him and Chip jawed at each other the last two years, more so in year one, but I agree it was about money. I remember when he yelled at Shady for not hitting a hole in Tampa and Shady said there wasn't one to hit and then after film study Chip stood up and apologized to Shady in front of the team saying he was wrong.

He can't handle strong personalities in the front office either.

i don't believe that.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I don't believe it - that's true.

[Zanshin]

BIG year for the Chipper. If he wins big, he'll be able to say he did it his way and it'll be hard to disagree. If they fall off or fall apart, then he's a jackass, and it'll be hard to disagree.

[smeags]

roseman isn't a strong personality, he's farging nerd.

so chip can't handle those either.
