Oh I don’t have a problem with it but who is doing it? They call them out as a group but I think they have to be a bit more brutal. If you make 8 million bucks a year you can take some criticism.

I think publicly saying that the coaching staff wants to win more than the players is pretty brutal though. I think that isn’t going to have the intended effect Hitch was hoping for. It might have been effective if this team was still responding to him, but they are not.
But I get what you’re saying. Leon needs a boot up his ass for that game. But if he’s owning it behind closed doors I wouldn’t think publicly berating him is going to help. I’m sure he will be a good soldier defensively on Wednesday. How many games it lasts?

Yeah, if I was coaching the Oilers, I'd punt every time a media member asked me a question about a certain play by a certain player.
"I really haven't seen the video of that one yet, so I can't comment."
"Sounds like you've already broken down the play. Why don't you just share your thoughts on it?"
"That's why you're on that side of the podium and I'm on this side of it."
I'd probably set the ground rules right away on all the things I'm not commenting on, and then I'd mock the reporters that tried to get me to stray from that.
It would drive them crazy, but your job isn't to make those mouth-breathers happy. Protect the guys in the room, and then peel a strip out of them behind closed doors when you need to.
