I heard that Brian Kelly has only talked to players individually that are in bad standing

I was wondering why when Culotta and other people would ask the players if they’ve talked with Brian Kelly privately yet. A lot of the players have said no not yet. Trey Palmer and Dwight McGlothern are the only players that we know publicly that had a meeting with Brian Kelly. Players that are in bad standing I guess would include failed drug tests, failing in the classroom, and poor attitude.

Yea, he's been hiding in his office and only calling in the bad kids

This sounds like disinformation.

This was during bowl preparations when Brad Davis was the interim

Cleaning house, you start with the dirt.
BK went in and laid down how things will work and sent some packing...or asked them nicely to leave on their own.
Higher character athletes will train harder and work more to achieve..

When you take a position that puts you in charge, you have a small window to establish your culture. If you miss that window or are inconsistent, it’ll be infinitely harder to correct the ship. It’s best to lay the law down and let everyone know, without question, what will be expected of everyone.

you know that Hester has said many times that the norm was for Coach Saban to walk past you in the complex and not even acknowledge you being there. He said normally the only ones Saban ever acknowledged or talked to were the ones in trouble or in danger of being in trouble. If you were good and did all the right things he just ignored you

By handling it this way, when Saban makes it a point to provide some positive reinforcement it is much more impactful, especially publicly--as seen the way he did with his two captains in post game press conference on Monday.

I can believe this. It's the absolute opposite of coddling self-entitled primadonnas to keep them happy and playing.
It's a culture that embraces winning as a team concept, not winning because your superstars are kept fat, happy, and ego-stroked.
And it's also explains why 4 and 5-star players consistently elect to go to Bama and ride the bench for a year or two before they get their shot on the field.
As much as I detest the angry munchkin, props where props are due. And in this case, nobody runs a program better than Saban.

I've read the same thing about Belichek and look at how successful both have been. They simply aren't coddlers or overly friendly, player's coaches.

big time college football has been a bidness long before NIL

I will say... a professional team ive followed since the 90s is going with a complete rebuild rt now. the coach, with groans from fans, pretty much pushed all the big high earning stars out and any one who wouldnt get on board. The first season sucked, but the team is much better for it now and playing much better with younger inspired talent who buy in.
He basically told any of the older players from the last regime to get fricked, even if that meant losing his job. The past coaches would go out and just find a big overpaid star to stack on top of the other overpaid losers and you end up going no where.

Sorry but I’m not buying this. Where does this kind of stuff get footing. Maybe that is how it worked out but guaranteed it’s not a thing.

I would like to think that he'd come in by setting the tone of only wanting players that wanted to be here as opposed to immediately start sucking their dicks, that approach has greatly contributed to where we are now as a program

I mean this is very common even in Business, you let your Managers manage their people.

Well, if Jordy said it, it must be accurate.

When BellyChuckles first started making noise with the Pats, his teams were nicknamed "the No-Names" because that's exactly what they were: a group of players dedicated to playing well together, for the team, regardless of their star power (or lack thereof). His first SB team was basically one or two "names" and a bunch of other players he found, plugged in to his system and then proceeded to win - convincingly.
Billy B was - and is - a master at getting the right players for his system and vision. And Saban is a direct branch off his coaching tree, so it makes sense that he would replicate a successful coaching approach with his own teams.
Neither Belichick nor Saban have ever been known as coddlers, and seem to actively avoid cancerous players regardless of how skilled they may be.
Again, I've never been a Pats fan, and I'm no fan of Saban. But I can't argue with their approach to building and managing teams. Excepting a few questionable practices at Bama, you can't deny that the team-first system works.
