Direct unfiltered feedback is needed in many jobs to be successful. Coaching and playing are two of them. I agree, this reminds me of a recent leadership training I attended. One of the topics involved "generational leadership strategies". Cliffs Notes version: In comparison to more established professionals, younger professionals require direct feedback language, i.e., "you", to come across as impactful and meaningful. Otherwise, the newer generations have a tendency to deflect responsibility elsewhere, including negative or positive messaging. In other words, the feedback portrayed immediately becomes diluted and less meaningful by the recipients of "we" language. This is very difficult for the more established professionals who find it easier to state "we", when providing negative feedback to others. Maybe not relatable but food for thought. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gowebb11 9,529 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) The QB pick 6 part of this discussion cracks me up. While we debate our coach using ‘we’ instead of ‘us’ the coaches of our two biggest rivals are led by the most direct, hard nosed, foul-mouthed, my way or else coaches in recent memory.

Overall though we are recruiting really well, which implies it doesn't & hasn't bothered many of our top targets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is more after the fact. When GA and Bama play they tend to zoom in when Nick and Kirby have their moments. Hell Nick throws a full on tantrum. The solution is play better then u don’t have to worry about corrective action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re either “we” or we’re not “we.” Call a player out directly face to face. No problem. Do it in real time on the sideline if needed. Get mad. Lay down the law. Don’t sugar coat or pussyfoot. But to the rest of the world, we’re “we.” Telling a reporter “he” can’t do that to “us” comes off as if the player’s not part of “us.” End of the world? No. But I hope it’s not the new norm. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the same and I think it is somewhat unusual for a coach to speak like this to the public. All the tough coaches mentioned go in hard at their players face to face, but present a unified front to anyone outside the team and coaching staff. If I remember correctly. I think we both know it's not a huge deal, even if we personally don't care for it. It's the kind of thing everyone will hate about the coach if he doesn't work out and no one will care if he wins a bunch of games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure he got a dose of tough love at half so I don’t know what value there was in the comment on TV. It just came off as frustration and finger pointing.

LPTiger 5,255 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Coach them as hard as you want in private. I have no issue with that. But, I don't see ANY benefit of calling a specific player out on national tv and throwing him under the bus. It projects a form of insecurity and excuses. Why not say "we made some mistakes that we need to get cleaned up and that is on us as coaches as we need to coach better." My biggest criticism of CHF is his willingness to call players/position groups out in public. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest criticism of CHF is his willingness to call players/position groups out in public. Ditto. I’m old school. Not that every coach has to be one way, but I do think— would Dye do that? Don’t think so. He was hard as nails. It has nothing to do with the “frailty” of this generation. Shug wouldn’t do it, and gentleman that he was, his practices had legendary toughness. The new thing is not the weakness reflected in the new generation of player, but rather the coaches who engage in such behavior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
