Yelling at the referees - benefit or drawback?
The thread about best coaches for some reason got me thinking about sideline demeanor.
I like that Andy doesn't yell at referees. Assuming that they haven't been bribed by Robert Kraft, referees are trying to do their job, and they're part of the football ecosystem. In the Super Bowl, Andy was minding his own business and the Rat's child was throwing tantrums, and it made me really glad to be a Chiefs fan. However, it got me wondering about the most effective strategy. If I'm a ref, I'm going to like Andy a lot more. But the old saying, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease" is often true. What's the best strategy on handling the officials if you're a head coach? Should you more or less ignore them like Andy does, and occasionally educate them on the rules when they're wrong? Should you violently argue every single call? Does it make any difference, because an NFL official is immune to outside influence? Last edited by Rain Man; 05-06-2020 at 01:36 PM.. |
