At the beginning of Lombardi's HC gig, the first few paractices when Starr would make a mistake, Vince would scream and yell at him, just like any other football player that just screwed up.
One day after practice, Starr walked in Lombardi's office for a closed door meeting. He said, "Coach, you want me to lead this team, you cant undermine me in front of them. If I screw up, I'll take whatever heat you want to lay on me in private".
Starr said from that day on, Lombardi never raised his voice at Bart in front of the team. He became and was the leader of yhose great Packer teams.
But I doubt that's the way Parcells handled Simms.
Hey, you said 60's and I gave you how the best HC of the era handled his QB.
If you wanted a late 70's, 80's example, how about Bill Walsh. When he drafted his under-sized and barely average arm stregth QB in the 3rd round, he always put his young QB in situations where he had a good chance to suceed. Success according to Walsh would build the kid's confidence and the team's confidence in the kid QB. I'm sure you know that QB was Joe Montana.
Slightly different philosophy that Walsh had than Parcells.
Of course our HMFIC came from the Walsh tree so.....

Thats just it , and ,
The point Eyesore can't grab in his errant defense of all things Mangina is.
Your QB's are your teams stock ,their value raises the value of your franchise , and nobody has the resources under todays cap limitations to destroy devalue or misuse that stock , much less under personal Vendettas including the Bungles deconstruction of Palmer.
Mike Browns is crucifying Carson Palmer , but Mike Brown is beholding to no one else in the organization and won't be applying for another job as a GM or coach in this lifetime , even Mumbles learned the value of QB after butt fucking Kosar ina power grab orchestrated by Lombardi and Model so they didn't have t pay the escalators in his contract.
Mangina totally fucked up the DA Lady Quinn beauty pageant to the point neither was even serviceable prompting Holmgren to discard both , then the boob goes out of his way to screw over the new talent while the ink was still wet on how badly he botched the handling of the teams only other assets at QB just a few months before.
On what fuckin planet could you convey that as being smaaaaat or logical to your team or your own career.
His petty spiteful nonsense was the act of a petulant child , so hell bent on avenging any slight , perceived or imagined to the point he'd cut off his own nose to spite his stoopid face .
Colt being a bitch prima donna or a vag pie is irrelevant to the real point being,that the only thing that matters , you don't destroy your assets or devalue QB stock which is the most valuable trade asset in the league if nothing else.
Yeah free agents were chomping at the bit to line up and play for a franchise , managing their top position in football ala the Bungles and Raiduh models of crazy .
Thanks Mangina , you won't be missed.
