You want a coach that holds players accountable?

He lead their team in interceptions. If someone like Jessie Bates said something like that about OUR coaching staff not one person could blame him.

So you don't want players to be held accountable?  Swearinger was released not just for making critical comments about the coaching to the media, but for doing it repeatedly, after his HC had clearly established that it was unacceptable.  

Let's not forget that players are team employees, they must follow the policy established by their superiors, in this case it was his HC.  I don't know about this particular case, but many NFL contracts include language that establishes limitations on players being critical of their employers to the media.
