I am on board with that.
So sticking with the extended conversation from original stated “some fire” by marcm, and going from your “screaming maniac”, to the now “demeaning sideline style”, I submit that you have an issue with most every NFL, NCAA, HS and Pee Wee football coach in America. You just named a few highly successful ones that I would agree that have demeaning styles; CBB notwithstanding. Exhibit A would be what he did and said to Reed when he fumbled that ball against A&M.
With all that said and with smaller words, I think I would simply like to agree with previous poster and see a little more fire from CBB. Is that ok? It is simply an opinion. Not saying anything is wrong, nor that he has to be like anyone else.
Is there a reason you feel the need to be insulting in a thread that has in no way, shape or form been an attack on you, the original poster or anyone else? Being civil is an excellent quality.
Yes, I have a problem with coaches that act like an idiot. Like my mother said “If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you?” There is no reason whatsoever to act like that on the sideline.
More fire is fine. If you take the time to read the thread, you will find I said that.
and yes a “screaming maniac” and a “demeaning sideline style” are synonymous
I don’t see where I was being insulting, please point out? Until this post, and I scanned the others from you on the thread, I do not see where you ever said “more fire was fine”? I think I was entitled to express my opinion to agree with another poster in that your original reply IMO extended what he said and what he meant.
I don’t know the poster, but I am sure he was not asking any of our coaches to be “an idiot, to be a screaming maniac, or to demean any players”, all three of those terms were originated from you and your posts.
So if we go to back to original post, you agree with “more fire is fine” so do I; so we must all agree and be good to that topic. Thanks.
Come on man!! You don’t knw me!!?? Lol jk.
Shhhhhh!!! but he don’t know that. :?
Again I probably made the mistake of trying to engage. The new board seems hyper sensitive. You know how when one looks down on another, and the other says something or make a point to the one that views himself as superior; the one that views himself as superior may often take offense by saying the other insulted him if he dare to make a counter point. All I intended to do was support your view that some fire was required. Sent you a PM.
I knw I hear ya, one thing I did like Abt the old brd, oh well, freedom is becoming very limited this time of day. WPS!! You sent what? Pm?

That is what is insulting. I was fine with our conversation until you insinuated that I needed smaller words to understand your point. I have never seen that used in a situation that wasn’t intentionally insulting.
We can all agree we like some fire in our coach when needed. WPS!!

Looks like you have habit of reading a sentence and extended to what you think versus what one actually says? (Twice in this one thread) I never said you needed smaller words to understand my point. Nonetheless, I am sorry you took that sentence as insulting. In my mind, and for any following the context of the thread, I was simply saying I was using smaller words meaning fewer to simply say "little more fire " than where you had extended the poster’s post with larger complex words that in my view extended his intent; like saying “screaming maniac, demeaning sideline styles, idiot etc.” At the end of the day, if we all agreed that little more fire from CBB is fine from the beginning; not sure how all of the dialogue evolved, or was necessary. It was the only small / simple point I wished to convey from the outset.

My apologies, HA. I will bear that in mind moving forward. I am glad we can be cordial.
Have a great evening.
I think what this thread addresses about the benefits of a fiery coach on the college level are legitimate. I remember what my father use to say about Frank Broyles, once a fiery coach on the sidelines hollering directives and very demonstrative, then in the later 60’s until his 1976 retirement, a stoic somber mere sideline presence. My father said it had direct relevance to his success as a coach and when you look a Broyles’ comparable achievements with his teams on the field of play. Those earlier fiery years were those of his definite legend.
I remember Sutton & Richardson as both being very involved giving loud coaching directives to their players all during games. I remember a sideline mic picked up a Sutton directive as the team was approaching him on a timeout close to the end of one of those nail biting games. Sutton hollered, “You’re not gonna lose!” I later very soon remembered Sutton was right as that game ended.
Young players look to their coach for inspiration in the fierce heat of sheer battle that those games often become. If coach looks like his parents both just died. That translates to them. All this being stated. Bielema is far from a fiery loud inspirational sideline presence. How much that relates to collapses after missed FG’s and failed scoring opportunities late in games is anybody’s guess?? I myself prefer the sideline firecracker.
Great post!

If you are using a tablet or PC, those directions are exactly right.
If you are using a smart phone, it is not quite as obvious. To find your PMs, click on your userid, which is in that red bar. Select User Control Panel from that drop down. There is a row of tabs at the top. Viewing in landscape mode, you will be able to select Private Messages.
Hog Authority-I think you’re right about the OL. Coach Anderson has got to get beyond technique and start teaching physical toughness and BIG UGLIES! I don’t know what its going to take -but they better figure it out NOW! If they don’t we get beat-if they do we win in OT 26-23.HOGS YA’LL.
My daughter’s HS Volleyball team ran into a formidable opponent tonight. They normally cruise winning in 3 games occasionally taking 4. But tonight they lost the first 2, I wish I had a camera going on how the Coach lit into the huddle before 3 game. She was livid. This coach is about as nice as you can possibly be. But she knew the girls were better than that (actually they weren’t because we got beat, but that ain’t the point) Coaching is motivational. Having an unemotional coach is simply no fun, especially when your team under-performs. I guarantee you that Michigan literally became good overnight because of a fiery Jim Harbaugh.
I don’t like the CBB run, run run and a cloud of dust, but if it take it, I say line up against Bama and run that ball up the gut. If they stack the gaps then hit the TE on divide play or hit a RB on a wheel route. If we don’t have the Hawgs upfront, then go with the traps and misdirection plays. WPS!!!
