Garcia: “Punch’em In The Damn Mouth”
November 8th, 2008Regular visitors here know Joe’s favorite Bucs analyst is Bob Garcia, father of Jeff Garcia and a high school and small college coaching legend in Gilroy, Calif.
Upset after the Chiefs game, the senior Garcia didn’t hold back in his weekly blog for the Gilroy Dispatch.
Sheesh, I tell you what, I nearly had a heart attack. Matter of fact, when Jeff called after the game he goes, ‘Hey, dad, did you almost have a heart attack?’
I said, ‘Heart attack? I was pissed (the whole game). What did you guys think you were gonna do, show up and they’d roll over and play dead.’ I said you guys looked like crap because the whole game defensively — breakdowns — and offensively — couldn’t get nothing going. … You got go out there and punch ’em in the damn mouth and say, ‘Hey, we’re gonna rip their damn — hey, I don’t care what their record is.’ You gotta have that attitude. We’re at the point now where every game is important.
Bob Garcia went on to say that Jeff is feeling a lot of stress at home from getting up in the middle of the night with his infant daughter. It seems the bye week will really help freshen Garcia up for the stretch run.
