Karst41 5,761 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hearing about John Fox having Heart Surgery and now Gary Kubiak,who was diagnosed with a TIA (Silent Stroke) on Sunday, definatelyraises concerns for the well being of Smitty.Regardless of wht you think about Smitty, this season has taken atoll on the man.After week 2 it was apparent that the man is losing sleep and stressed to the Max.You can see it on his face plain as day.No matter how you look at it, this season has taken a severe toll on players and coaches alike.

Club212 308 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 No one wants to see anyone go thru that or even wish it, Smitty looks relaxed, I'm more worried about Mr Blank...he owns this team & has to watch this just like us.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JOEinPHX 3,766 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Not sure why a topic like this would elicit giggles, because I worry a bit about Smitty, too. The good news is that he got a wake-up call after the Carolina away game in 2011 and has taken appropriate steps.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Butudontseeme™ 9,929 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 He had a scare after a game in Carolina in '10(I think). I actually think that's why we don't see him red faced and screaming very often anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Quarterback 4,244 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Mike Smith, after his health issue a couple of years ago in Charlotte, has wisely changed hie lifestyle…lost about 25-30 pounds, more even tempered on the sideline, and devoting more time to something way more important than football, his wife and daughter.He'll be fine.

I actually think that's why we don't see him red faced and screaming very often anymore.Idk...Last Sunday he was red faced, throwing a fit, and screaming at the refs. It went on even after another snap. The T.V. announcers had no idea why. I wonder if someone here knows why. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Statick 13,276 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 The only thing Smitty has to worry about is his hair getting a little whiter.And a bloody horsehead in his bed if he doesn't right the ship. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B_Lo_Touchdowns 4,740 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I understand Kubiak having heart issues, but John Fox. Really... Not tryna be a d!ck but he doesn't do anything. Del Rio runs the defense Payton runs the offense. Fox doesn't have much to worry about it would seem Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Karst41 5,761 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Kubiak's condition is pretty serious because 1 in 3 suffer a strokewithin a year after the TIA.My guess is that he will be getting serious evaluation, and or a regimeof clot disolving drugs.Even then the odds are still there.Kubiak was suffering a terrible season in Houston like we are in Atlanta.

dirtybgirl 118 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I noticed it too. Idk why he was upset, but I know that's the first time in a long time I've seen it.Right! That is why it seemed so strange. I believe it was at the end of the second Quarter. I just remember the second snap (perhaps even the one that got him angry) was after the two minute warning, and since he had ripped his headset off the play before, we were afraid that in his highly agitated state that he would try to throw the red flag... forgetting that the play was automatically reviewed...and well... we all know what would have happened. We were screaming at Smitty screaming! "Put the headset back on!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DurtyBurdz155 1,489 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Why is this even a thread? I love Smitty but geez Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hjerry 26,100 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I've actually seen a few posters say that they worry that the reason that we've gotten complacent is b/c of Smith's heart attack. He doesn't get angry anymore, and it trickles down. It's certainly possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Karst41 5,761 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Why is this even a thread? I love Smitty but geezBecause if I had posted this in Pure Football it would have gone un noticed, andthe post has an underlying subject that merits discussion.Players get examined and tested routinely, the Brain Trust of the team are not subjectto the same testing and it is my contention that it is in the teams best interest to do so.on a semi annual basis.If I am paying a person big time bucks to coach my team, a few grand spent on contrastingwould be a very wise investment, right down to the Assistant's.2 out of 32 HC's are down and that is a huge percentage or low considering the Acute Stressthat comes with the job, pending how you want to look at it.

srichter23 12 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 All NFL coaches are stressed. Even Belichick. Could happen to anyone. Hope it doesn't, wishing for speedy recoveries for Fox and Kubiak Quote Link to post Share on other sites
