This is about Paul Brown. Seems our current Bengals management team has some of his negative traits in excess:
Although Brown coached dozens of successful teams at the high school, college and professional levels, his controlling personality and sharp criticisms made him unpopular with many players.[3] Brown was a methodical and disciplined coach who tolerated no deviation from his system.[143] His professional teams' planes did not wait for players who were late; anyone who missed the flight was forced to find one on his own and pay a fine to Brown.[144] When the Browns practiced twice in a day in training camp, each session was exactly 55 minutes. Regular practices during the season lasted an hour and 12 minutes.[145] Players who made mistakes in games were held up for ridicule during film review sessions.[144] "There got to be a saying", longtime Browns safety Ken Konz said years later. "'There's a right way, a wrong way and the Paul Brown way.' If you did it the Paul Brown way, you were right. He was a very strict coach, and he expected you to toe the line."[144]
Brown was also a tough negotiator over salaries, often refusing to give players raises despite strong performance.[145] He was called "cold and brutal" by sportswriters, and told players to be "ready to fight for your financial lives".[145] "When I signed with Paul, he felt that $1,000 was $10 million", said Gene Hickerson, a guard who played for the Browns in the late 1950s and 1960s.[145] Brown's stingy approach to salaries frustrated his players and was a motivating force behind the formation of the National Football League Players Association, which represents players' interests in dealings with the league. Browns players including Dante Lavelli and Abe Gibron helped found the union in 1956 along with lawyer and former Browns assistant coach Creighton Miller.[146][147] Brown was so annoyed by the union that he had a 1946 team photo in his office touched up to remove Miller.[148]
