Saban and Sweeney don’t think football is analogous

The ass-chewing should be reserved for when the athlete

has repeatedly failed to learn the lesson on previous occasions, or refuses to understand the need to learn the lesson.

I dub this the Ass-chewing protocal

Or ACP

Yes, I acknowledged that.

I don’t know what any of these coaches do behind the scenes. A well-placed chewing can be effective, if for no other reason than the environment is loud and there are so many people to deal with at once. But screaming at specific players and losing your cool is detrimental. I don’t think those outbursts are assets of Saban’s or Meyer’s.

Others can more intelligently speak to the use of yelling and stress in the military context, and how those tactics are balanced by the “leaders eat last” ethos.

not to mention that players tend to tune out

the coaches that just constantly yell.

As to Saban/Meyer and their ripoff of stuff that Holtz used to do, I am sure that a lot of the the motivation in those programs comes from the idea that if you can't do it they'll just go get another Under Armour All American that can.

I think Belicheck does *

Which category fits BK better in your opinion?

Occasional ass-chewer, or constant ass-chewer?

What about BK 2.0?

How many times have you seen purple face in 8 years?

Once a game? A few times a season?

this is all just a ripoff of something Holtz used to do *
