Again, I'd like to know what you guys call "holding players accountable".
I watch a lot of foot ball coaches and I don't here any of them trashing their own players. And I certainly don't see them benching starters every time they mess up.
The stuff AJ is probably talking about is the type of stuff one of us ever see. Players late for meetings or slacking in practice. And most of the coach's "accountability" will also be stuff none of us see like requiring things be repeated until done properly, or physical punishment, or embarrassment in video sessions. I just am not impressed with the sideline hysteria during a game. I don't think screaming at a grown man is really an effective technique.
Maybe my position is based on my specific life experience. In high school I had a bunch of dumb ass coaches. My last two seasons we only won 3 games. However in college I played for a coach Ken Sparks who went to 8 national championship games, won 5, and still holds the record for most career wins in Division II. He had a bunch of very smart assistant coaches who knew how to win games, but they did not yell and scream as much as my stupid high school coaches.
Do you guys really expect Taylor to come out trashing the players or benching starters from week to week?
