Jim Mora didn’t like Rizzi chewing out Matthew Hayball

He looked like a very inexperienced HC that was feeling a lot of pressure bc we were performing badly against a JV team. Then on top of that the one group he thought he could count on was Sp teams and they just about let him down. He lost control for a moment. It was a bad look, and completely over the top, but you could obviously see he was feeling the pressure of that game.

Playing the worst team in the league.

Struggling against the worst team in the league.

All his friends and family at the game.

He wanted to win that game more than any game he’ll likely ever be a HC in, he just lost control for a second.

Not the end of the world, but still can’t happen. Not in that situation. It was borderline ridiculous.

Also need to understand that he was the special teams coach until being named interim head coach.

Further, he is a HIGHLY respected special teams coach, so much so that the NFL rules committee consulted him specifically when they redid the kickoff rules for this season.
So, obviously, his special teams playing well is extremely important to him as its "his specialty." That adds to that pressure as well.

But I'm with the camp that says if you're being paid high money to perform and you're an adult, you can take someone yelling at you when you mess up something, especially really badly. I was a performing artist for 25 years and I have a thick skin. I assume I'm expected to be perfect by the conductor and the audience, and will hear about it if I'm not. It's part of being a public performer, and athletes know that. I've seen enough high school and college sports coaches to figure this isn't the first time some coach has screamed at Hayball in his face.
