Why are 'Wake Up Call' Games Necessary for Bengals

While some (like yourself) have seen the coaches go off on players in practice, they don't seem to do the same in regular games on the sidelines.
To support your claim though, it was reported after the Chiefs preseason game that reporters heard Marvin yelling at the players behind closed doors.

What this team seems to prefer is doing their yelling at their players in private rather than make it public. That's a personal choice, but it can be perceived in different ways. While some people feel that this is how it should be handled, others get the perception that the coaches are passive and therefore don't care about performance.

While what I care about most is holding players (and coaches) accountable and to each his/her own how they want to handle something, perhaps being more public rather than private might have more effect and help change things around for the better. All we really care about is seeing an improvement on the field.

 I train all of my management people to respect their employees. One way to do so is by:

Praise in public and discipline in private

I could care less if my customers think I am passive and have no idea what is done behind closed doors. I care about my people and it is the respectful way to handle issues. As you stated, it has been reported over and over through the years ML gets on players, I have reported on it every year how intense the staff is at training camp (I go every year at least 1 time) in this forum, others have stated it as well. So the information is out there, but some have a tendency to ignore anything that goes against their perception (closed minded) thus they refuse to listen to others.
