It's how they look every week, how Les acts on the sidelins, in press conferences, on his coaching show, etc


So, it's more of a problem of the current coach's personality for you? He doesn't act an arse on the sideline or with the media so he's a terrible coach? He is a complete idiot because he acts calm and collected on the sideline? Now, I will admit that it would be nice to see him tear into a player or two and work the officials on occasion when it is deserved, but other than that I have no problem with the way he acts.

And I will also agree that there is a lot of room for improvement with the team's performance, but I think a lot of that might fall to the assistants.

And who hires the assistants? Doesn't the final say and responsibility ultimately lie with the head coach?

Not it at all. I would venture to think that it has something to do with that attitude AND how the team performs. Being Tony Dungy is great, but there has to be a direct coorelation with an improvement in the program. Yes, he won a NC, but that was by sheer luck AND after his team managed to play uninspired AT HOME, ON SENIOR DAY, ON NATIONAL TV, WITH A CHANCE TO SECURE THE BCS TITLE GAME WITH A WIN THE NEXT WEEK IN THE SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, etc. That's just one example of that man not being able to effectively inspire those 85 kids to reach their enourmous potential. He recruits very well, but at the end of the day he doesn't show the ability to lead. That filters down to the coaching staff, to the players, the university, and then to the fan...like me.
