I think there are a lot of things that can go wrong. I don't see any value at all in letting players and coaches be public about what they're doing. Their job is to win football games, not fill seats. I'm sort of a nerd like that. To me, every minute a coach wastes tweeting or playing to the crowd is a minute he could have spent gameplanning.

More importantly, think of how many ways it could have gone wrong. I think Bowe's story went away so quickly because every player/coach/staff member was so well coached on how to ignore the media when they pry for questions. On the Weis issue, think about how much of a distraction that would have been if Haley was defensive or if a staff member leaked out information about their relationship. I want Haley worrying about winning games, not spending every waking second publicly defending a move he makes/doesn't make. And when some shit goes down, I want that handled in-house, not by staff members/players sneakily leaking info to the media.

I think secrecy is a great thing because we've seen time and time again that players/staff members can have loose lips and reveal info they shouldn't. And we've seen the media blow small stories way out of proportion.
