Yet in the NHL, NFL, NBA, MLB you see guys swearing all the time and they don't get called out for it. Gibbons probably uses more f-bombs in one game then Maas will in a year
This.no, we get upset because Maas seems to have no control over his emotions.
I couldn't care less if he swears on the sidelines. I just don't want to see any more of his headset throwing tantrums over bad calls.
I agree.
I think maintaining control over himself (as Gord said) is the main issue here. I dont think that going ballistic helps in any aspect of life especially when you are in charge. Oh...and he can stop being a bully to players and assistant coaches as well. That would be a nice change.
I dont care to see him spitting in another coaches face again....ever.
Maintaining some control would likely help his ability to be a better coach and make better decisions as well.
Posters on here maintained that Maas would grow from this immature nonsense.
I for one would like to see some proof.
Part of the problem is that his main assistant coach (the vet - Benavides), the guy who would usually talk some sense into Maas, has his own head coaching ambitions and is probably all too happy to see Maas make an ass of himself.
I'm going to send him a box of clipboards and a lamenting machine
Maas doesn't need anybody sabotaging him. He can do that all by himself.Benavides is pretty professional though, so I doubt it's any kind of sabotage of Maas. He is also likley smart enough to not do it in any kind of public forum.
I'm hoping behind closed doors he does speak to him on it when its warranted. And that's not just for swearing on the sidelines, but losing his mind on officials or headsets or assistant coaches. Let's be real, as long as he's prone to those violent outbursts it would be virtually impossible to reign in him swearing, so let's focus on his composure first. Once that's in check then maybe reign in the swearing.

I think we've found our running backs. Those three look really good. Too bad we only have one ball.
Yah, swear on the sidelines all you want. Just don't make any stupid coaching decisions.
He didn't think they were stupid.

Luckily Jason Maas' players aren't only judging him based on what they see on TV or read on the internet. Today, during an excellent interview on TSN1260's Dave Jamieson Show, Vidal Hazelton was the latest of a number of Esks' players to strongly endorse his head coach. The consensus seems to be that, as a former player, Maas is a player's coach whose intensity and competitiveness is something that his guys feed off of and enjoy- not a source of embarrassment to them.Maas is an ass. He isn't changing. Its just more of the same. In an exhibition game no less. Guy can't even exhibit the smallest inkling of self control and/or class when the result means nothing. It really is too bad because the team looks quite good this year. The gm seems to be pulling his weight. He needs to 86 the child and hire a man to coach the team.

Of course. Hazelton's (and others') comments have an underlying tone of respect to them that actually explains why they seemed to instantly & sincerely forgive JM for his brutal decision much like the Seahawks forgave Pete Carroll after his gaffe in the Superbowl. I think it goes beyond just trying to stay employed though. When the players stop commenting on Maas at all is when I'll start thinking that he's lost their respect.To be fair though, what's he going to say? Saying "my head coach is an idiot who couldn't count properly in the final minutes of an important playoff game" is a good way of never finding employment again.
