Watch him going off on the bench on our guys on the other Hard Knocks. There was footage of Hue Jackson going at Chris Henry too. They aren't calling them dumb mother****ers. There is still a level of respect as men. Those guys also had/have a proven track record.
Lou Anarumo is a dumb mother***er. He ain't worth a shit at his job either.
Funny thing, I had a supervisor for 7 years that cussed constantly, often at us, a couple of times at me. There was a particular thing he'd told me not to do more than once. Not a huge deal, but it would have made his job easier if I had listened. Problem was 99 percent of the time, the thing he asked me not to do worked fine and he never had to do anything about it, so none the wiser on his part. Well, needless to say it went wrong one night and he went ballistic.
Now, for perspective, this guy had my back countless times over the years, and there were times when it was at some risk to his own reputation. He could get away with whatever, because in the end we were friends and had been around each other more than our own families for almost a decade.
He eventually moved on to another job and was replaced with a less "abrasive" supervisor. This dude was nice enough, but whenever he tried to buck up, talk shit and assert his authority, we pushed back hard until he broke and gave up. Why? Because he wasn't there yet and he had nothing outside of a title. He could only demand what policy allowed him to, and sometimes that ain't much, lol. That guy was Lou. He thought he had credibility that never existed. It has to be built with winning and results, on top of familiarity.
