Big Middle Finger by Fife to BH

[RLGriz]

I think they're fine. They're both being professional about it after the fact and want to move on. We should, too.

 

[mtgrizrule]

Wouldn't it be ironic, if this turns around the season for a playoff run?

I doubt it, but would love if it happens!

Hauck and Fife speak on the altercation at the 7:30 mark. Said they were fired up.

That is as close to a mea culpa as I've ever seen from BH.
I don't remember any player getting in his face like Fife did and not being sat down.

You could tell, Hauck and Fife knew that was coming.

Loved each of their responses.

It looks and sounds as if, both are relieved it happened. Hauck, had the look of smugness too. Looked as if, the team finally found their man at qb!

We had our QB for awhile, the coaches just refused to abandon their awful 2 QB system. Hell we don't even know if they will this upcoming week.

I would have the exact same reaction, regardless the coach. No way to justify that type of behavior. I wonder why this team gets so many penalties. Now I know. A completely undisciplined and immature coach. The leader of young men just acted like a petulant child. A very bad look

None of us currently have knowledge concerning this unfortunate occurrence or what might be happening behind the curtain. What we do know is Fife is the best quarterback on our team.

Bobby doesn’t like Fife. It’s been apparent for about 6 weeks now.

That situation certainly was not good but nobody seems to want to acknowledge the post game presser. I thought it said a lot that Fife chose to go to the post game presser. He could’ve told Bobby to get bent but instead he went, he handled it extremely well, Bobby was very candid as well and I think their embrace on the sideline and their respectfulness towards each other in the presser shows that this was likely a heat of the moment thing.

I’m sure Bobby was upset about Fife’s tweet from last week and that’s likely why Ah Yat played in the first half, but after Fife’s performance in the second half, Fife has Bobby boxed in with no choice but to play him now in case there was any bad blood before this. All I’m saying was if those 2 truly hated each other, do you really think they would’ve gone to the presser together. Either Fife would’ve said hell no or Bobby wouldn’t have allowed him to go. Perhaps they let bygones be bygones?

Bobby and Fife’s interaction reminded me of how fired up Nick Saban would get at his players for making mistakes. And Saban’s players on occasion would talk back too.

Point is, it happens. I mean, I’d rather have Bobby show emotion like that than have a coach like Ron Ash.

 

[hm.grwn.grizfan]

He did state Fife played well coming off the bench. Emphasis on the coming off the bench which is a message in Bobby Hauck speak. It was gnashing teeth for Bobby in that interview with Riley leading him with “what was that spark in the second half?”

You could tell in that interview that Hauck did NOT want to give credit to fife, but the players around him. We all have eyes Bobby, and could see that fife was the spark that made the offense go

I too am ok with coaches showing emotion on the sideline but I wish it would be when others make mistakes and not just Fife. For example, I’m getting real tired of Fontes dropping the ball. Didn’t see Bobby letting him have it, or maybe he did and none of us saw it. It should just be the same for everyone.

Horrible that he has higher expectations for the QB, the guy that should be leading by example.

I agree. And remember when Bobby and Tim H. went at it on the sideline?

When? I must be forgetting that.

So why not get upset at Ah Yat over his poor performance in the first half then?

Is that what he got pissed about with Fife?

 

[mthoopsfan]

Years ago, Bobby and Tim got into it in a fairly big way on the sideline. They were yelling and pointing fingers, is my recollection. Bobby might have pushed Tim.

 

[mtgrizrule]

Okay, I'm watching the game on demand now. Just saw the Hauck/Fife exchange.

Why isn't anyone talking about the after exchange embrace?

Both manned up.
I want to know, what Hauck told Fife then?

I honestly think, we're blowing this out of proportion negatively.

I'm happy, we finally saw passion and fire from Hauck and a qb. Weren't we previously complaining about the passion and fire? We'll we got it!
