Perhaps the answer is that Mulkey engages with her players with far more emotional intelligence than the press or basketball audience may imagine. Much of her reputation for hardheartedness stems from tension with Brittney Griner, who revealed she felt pressure to closet her sexuality at Baylor, the Baptist school where Mulkey won three titles. The press ran with the implication and etched Mulkey as an uncaring bigot. This is overdrawn, and Griner has since acknowledged it. In fact, in March 2013 Mulkey gave an interview to OutSports while Griner was still on the team. She remarked that Griner had had “to endure more than any player I’ve ever had to coach” in the way of ugliness from crowds and asserted that she cared not at all if a player was gay and would never even ask the question.

“So it doesn’t matter to you?” the reporter asked.?“No,” Mulkey said.

Actually, Latt’s restructure makes it easier to trade him.

You may not have noticed that Latt hasn’t played for weeks (for the 2nd season in a row). Last year when that happened, Taylor took his place on the outside. Would have been the natural thing to do this year, but DA has decided to continue to play Taylor out of position. Just gotta “keep doing what you’re doing.”

Clean house on the offensive side of the ball. Time to stop trying to run Payton’s offense w/o Payton. Innovation needed, including presnap motion on almost every play and play action. O line needs to be overhauled.

I agree, which is all the more shame that the team has probably pissed its playoff chances away. I want to beat Atlanta badly next Sunday, but the path to the playoffs requires a lot of help from other teams now even if we find a way to stop their run game and win. If only the Saints would have decided to come out and punch some of the teams they lost to in the mouth in the first quarter like they did against Tampa, instead of waiting to the second half to decide it was time to start trying.

No, mediocrity means you’re average. We will have a losing team for the second year in a row. That’s not mediocre—that’s below average.

I can’t see us beating the Yucs or the Turds. DA doesn’t have it in him to motivate the team. Mayfield will embarrass our D and make all the money we’re paying Carr look all the more stupid, and Atlanta will run over our D again. Carr will be lucky to score a first half TD in either game. I wish I could predict a better outcome, but I think DA has lost most of the team, and we’re going to demonstrate we are not a “mediocre” team, but an outright bad team.

DA knows DBs, I’ll give him that, but his FA and draft moves on the DL look pretty bad except for Bresee, and his moves at LB are still TBD.

Need more than just rushing attempts and the occasional shot for the offense to work. We need to do more of some of the things we saw against New England—more throws to CMG over the middle, more presnap motion, more play action, and more creativity in the red sone like the shovel pass to Moreau.

This is the year DA either delivers, or has to get fired, IMO. He’s got a good roster with a good QB. Carr isn’t great, but you can definitely win with him. Looks like the D line has successfully reloaded, and D should be potentially even better than last year. Division is weak. There are no excuses.
