What kind of ****ing idiot thinks this is a representative or meaningful piece of evidence?

I'm 90% sure it's in there specifically and only for the people who've never played sports and can't relate to a coach that made them check their ego at the door.

I can't think of a single person growing up where I think oh gosh I got ahead because they acted like a ****. If anything, it's more like "I made it in spite of that ****"
People ****ing loved Todd Haley and well look at the results. Andy Reid gets it done while treating people like well, actual people because he's willing to understand everyone and get the most out of them.
I'm ok with this fake tough shit era of football being thrown out. Give me someone that's actually good. You can have the drill sergeant.

It's not that dude. I don't have much room in my life for ****s. Other than one football camp, I never had a coach that was just a straight up ****. Never really had any that were into name calling. But I did have ones that demanded excellence and there were very real consequences for not.
That's not to say that my statement was incorrect. I typed out a long explanation but decided to post it publicly.
