IMO, that is a poor form of leadership, a form of leadership that doesnt show much investment in the personal well-beings of the players


So? That is what he chooses to do.

He has a clear misunderstanding of how much he NEEDS people. All his "Structure" appears to be apart of the problem.He devalues people and relationships with people, especially in this business; he looks at them like pieces to a machine


They are pieces of a machine. Everyone can be replaced. There is a huge supply out there. Fall in line or get out. Just like any other business.


He does not care about that. Obviously some players don't care to be buddy-buddy with the coach. He is required to win, so long as he can do that he is fine.

let me repeat. there are 2 discusssions

1. some sort of racial/bias motive

2. the merits of his style of coaching

now that 1 has been pretty debunked, the convo is magically sliding into 2. so just for clarity, we all agree that he's not biased towards race, right?

I dunno. If I were a coach I'd want to get the absolute best out of my players. They run through walls for you when they not only like you and respect you, but feel you respect them.

I don't know anyone in recent history of the NFL that's succeeded with that my-way-or-the-highway crap. Even Coughlin softened up before he won his first SB.
