honestly, the ideal coach isn't a drill instructor, nor is he a soft touch. the ideal coach (as it's been mentioned) knows which buttons to push on which player--although I'd like said coach to be a bit more towards disciplinarian than player's best friend.

look at wade phillips and the cowboys. they performed their best under the tuna, and are folding under wade phillips, a notorious player's coach (who's also been undermined by his owner)

I think Cowher would be a player's coach.
