Would you rather have a coach who disciplines kids or a coach who wins

With the whole urban Meyer situation. How many of you would like a coach who has good program or a coach who would do whatever to win. If you consider Les Miles not suspending TM7, would probably have us playing again for championship and equal Urban Meyer record. He chose to suspend and do what is right for the kid.

Why all the Les threads lately? Has ESPN been hating again?

Miles did not have a choice with TM7, he was suspensd due to university policy. Miles would have swept it under the rug and kept going had it been within his discretion. Please don't try to make Miles the great moralist for suspending Mathieu because that is not what happened.

Winning at all costs leaves me more than a little queasy. This is NCAA Football not, life or death survival and while I hate losing about as much as anyone I stand with the coach that teaches more than the X's & O's. PSU is a good example of the program carrying more weight than doing what should be done. Bottom line - do the right thing & let the chips fall as they may. Every kid is unique, every circumstance is its own & in most cases a second chance is not only warranted but deserved. Good coaches recognize their players weaknesses & great ones know when to pull the trigger on one player for the good of the team.

Discipline first.

Everything else is secondary.

Why can't you have both? And if you have the former, maybe you won't have to worry about the latter as often. The word discipline may look narrow in application, but it isn't. Think how you correct your children.
