From what I have heard, Meyer's team culture is centered on religion and God. That might work in college but I don't see that flying in a pro locker room.

It worked for a guy named Joe Gibbs....

Gibbs 1 had plenty of guys that were not religious. It just so happened that some of the best ones were. But we had great players that were not into that stuff.. Riggins, Dexter, Gary Clark just to name a few.

I don’t actually believe that religion plays any part in locker room culture. Not at a level that it makes a difference. May be a few guys who get inspired by it. Im just sayin that being religious doesn’t hinder it.

Gibbs is religious but religion wasn't the core of team culture. Big difference.

I don’t think Urban uses religion as the core of team culture anymore than Gibbs did. Regardless I just don’t think religion plays a part at all.
Anyway listening to the radio and i dont think i have to wish for Gruden to bring Snyders ineptitude to the fore front. All i hear on numerous stations is that nothing will change until he is gone. Fuckin guy.

I think it was, but it wasn't pushed or forced on anyone.

Gibbs made his life priorities known; God, family, then football. He was a guy who lived it, not just talked about it.

He was never confrontational or demeaning. He knew he was coaching grown men. But he absolutely held himself out as a quiet example.

Yeah, thats what Portis and Cooley said.

Zorn they said did divide the rocker room with religion. Guys like Antwaan Randle-El who prayed everyday w Zorn got treated differently. Sherman Smith would do daily sermons?

God was/is the most important thing in Gibbs life. He has said it many times and advocated his players adopt the same approach.

His entire existence and life philosophy is based on his religion. The difference is he treated everyone as an individual rather than a member of a certain group

He was a quiet example always willing to talk but never pushy or condescending. Portis is quoted in the link saying as much.

Discounting Gibbs belief in God and how it affected his coaching of men is nothing short of re-writing history.

He has been interviewed many, many times about it.
