Who cries??.... Id rather him be screaming at his players for letting a horrible team put up 24 against him...

If it's heartfelt and conveys genuine emotion something like that can really unify a team.

Screaming is not the only way to get through to young men. It has its place but to be honest I've seen as many bad coaches scream as good ones. It's often used to cover up for incompetence.

To the original poster: What was the take of the players in the Advocate? Did they say how they responded to it?

Sure...this is the way to get them to play better. Yell, scream, and tear them down right after a great stand to show them how proud of them you are.

Don't get me wrong, this week during practice he should have ridden their arses for playing like shite the rest of the game, but you don't do that right after the victory. You gotta show them that you are proud of them for doing well....positive reinforcement with some arse chewing to get them better.
