Come on Skip.

I get the stupid bitch wouldn't get it, she is after all, a stupid bitch.

They hug in the huddle, FFS.

Is she a Raider fan? That would make so much sense.

Maybe. But chances are they will just accept him vs. respect him. No one likes to see a teammate or coworker or student belittled because they know one day it could be them.

Again, fear and intimidation are a motivator only to a point.

I don't think you understand the world of sports very well at all.

And your analogies are proof of this.

I understand that athletes these days are prima donnas and that the type of personality/coaching style that Haley has does not compute with the mind set of those individuals. This ain't the sports world of 20 years ago.

If you were talking about an office manager, you'd be making sense.

Players that dont want to 'get' Haleys style will get 3 choices...coal mine, moonshine, take it down the line.

Did you not see the example GoChiefs provided where he gave Brodie a pat on the back after the TD?

It's not like he's lashing out at anybody, any time, for no good reason.

But I guess you've got to find something new about your least favorite team to complain about.

I guess only time will tell. I'm pretty confident in my belief that his coaching style will win him more problems than points both on the board and in the locker room.

I guess Tom Couglin's hardass approach failed the Giants a couple of years ago when they won the Super Bowl.

I guess BIll Cowher's hardass appproach won him more problems than games, and a SB, which is why he had to retire.

I guess Mike Tomlin's hardass approach had the same effect.

Oh, and of course Bill Bellicheck's hardass approach is totally loser.

Yeah don't forget Bill Parcells that guy sucked as a coach :shake:

but it was ok for red ass gannon and Gruden. Somehow i guess that's different in her eyes.

Actually I make this opinion with him in mind. Many of his players ended up hating him.

I'm not saying all coaches can't win using this method. I am saying that it won't work with most and especially with this particular one in this situation. The team is too new, the management to new, the changes too fresh for a new rookie coach to be throwing around his weight and acting like that. Especially given the lack of veteran leadership on the team.

Almost every single HC that has won a SB has a reputation as a demanding hardass.

From Vince Lombardi to Hank Stram to Chuck Noll to Bill Walsh to Jimmy Johnson to Bill Bellichick to Mike Tomlin.

The only "nice guy" coaches to win are Dick Vermeil and Tony Dungy.
