You know what makes a player want to play for a coach? When they see competency. No matter how positive and motivational Willie is, if the players believe that he doesn’t know what he is doing, they won’t respond. You have to be both a good coach and motivator.
What about our performances in Willie's time here in New Orleans leads you to believe the players don't view him as competent and someone they want to play hard for? I don't think effort has ever been in question, in fact I think the Pels generally play hard compared to the league as a whole.

Great post. This team has played with above average effort 67 of 70 games. That’s a feather in Coach Green’s hat.

True, there is zero indication that the players don’t want to play for Willie at this point, quite the opposite if anything. I am jumping the gun.
It’s more that I am cautious to give Willie praise for the positive culture he’s created and his motivational abilities (you gotta fight, all that). If the personality stuff is all you have as coach, it eventually wears out. Players know when a coach is doing the right things with the X’s and O’s and when you start losing playoff series and poor game-planning and in-game coaching is to blame, all the ra ra stuff goes out the window, especially to the players.
I am very critical of his ability to ever be a good coach beyond personnel stuff, but to be fair he’s a young coach and it’s hard to complain about that when you are 15 games above .500. I do feel confident in his ability to get the guys going through the adversity of the BI injury, which was the point of this thread lol.
