Pollard didnt like being cursed out.
Bernard Pollard didn't like Chiefs' coaches' cursing
Posted by Michael David Smith on November 8, 2009 9:17 AM ET
Texans safety Bernard Pollard started all 16 games for the Chiefs in 2008, but he ended up in Houston after Kansas City cut him just before the start of the 2009 season.

Pollard describes getting cut by the Chiefs as a shock, but he says he thinks he knows what the problem was: He wouldn't put up with new coach Todd Haley and his staff cursing him out.

"With professional athletes, you're dealing with grown men. You're not dealing with boys," Pollard tells the Journal Gazette. "You're not in a locker room with sophomores in high school. You're dealing with grown men with families. I have a wife. I have a son. And I have a daughter on the way. I'm not going to sit there and let you curse me out when you feel like cursing me out or talk to me any way you want to talk to me, and you just want me to sit and take it and say, 'Yes, coach.'"

As ArrowheadPride.com notes, Pollard had a shouting match with Chiefs defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast during training camp, leading to Pollard being sent off the field. Apparently that was not just one isolated incident.

But from Pollard's perspective, it's all worked out. Now he's a starter in Houston.

"I respect others because that's what I want in return," Pollard says. "It was shocking to get let go, but I'm a Texan, and I'm happy to be one."

I'm not a big fan of it because I don't think acting like a hardass who loses his mind all the time is a good way to motivate guys who make giant bank with families.

It's a good way to get eye rolling and reactions of "who the **** is this guy, who does he think he is?"

There's a difference in being yelled at for doing something stupid and feeling like you're being treated like a child, it seems many here can't realize that.

Yea, those are the examples of the guys that succeeded with the approach. Wonder if there are any coaches that acted that way and never got the results to get their players to buy into it.

I'm sorry, but I've yet to see much reason to mention Haley's name with the likes of Parcells and company.

It seems pretty self explanatory.

Wait... are you saying that a rookie coach with a terrible team hasn't set the world on fire?

That's never happened with a "player's coach"!

He definitley has a point. It wouldn't matter if you're make 50 thousand or 50 mil a year, no one is going to be happy and comfortable being demeaned. There is a certain way to talk to people and these new coaches just don't seem to know it

Someone enroll Mike Brown in High School Geometry so he can attain a basic knowledge of angles. The remedial course, mind you.
