I think Haley cares more that his players have self-respect. Pushing them to be their best and not tolerating the mental mistakes or soft play is going to do that more than being their best friend or being soft on them. That was Herm's way. And it led to a team that had almost no self-respect. He's in charge of getting rid of their stinking thinking. He's the one who will give them their check up from the neck up.
I disagree with your analysis. I tend to believe that Todd Haley understands football psychology 101 just fine.
