If a player comes to work believing in the plan and believing in the guy calling the shots, then they prepare better, whether it's direct motivation or not.
Motivation or not, if a player leaves practice inspired and comes to a game believing in a coach and inspired by him, he plays a lot better.
It also brings the players together better as a team if they're all believing in the coach and just wanting to play hard.
I think overlooking all of that is one area that Mike Brown has been wrong in. Mike looks at this as the cheapest way to put a team on the field and play football, but he doesn't look at the finer points and realize the entire atmosphere and football life.
There's a reason some coaches consistently have players that are disciplined, do their jobs, and play hard.
You do realize that the typical NFL player has a lot on his plate just being an NFL player? What makes you think an average NFL player is going to have any idea on who might be a good head coach? If you polled any random player about some of the current "hot" coaching prospects and how they would like them, they would probably give you back a nice, long, blank stare.
