Formerly Allan in MD Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Do you like his sideline mannerisms? I appreciate his intensity and it seems sincere, but I cannot get over when he claps adamantly when there is a 3 and out, a defensive collapse or even something positive. It is the same robotic motion every time. This thread is ridiculous, I know. But it really pisses me off to see how eager he is to greet his players to the sideline when the just blew a big opportunity. It's up there with: Marrones blank stare Todd Bowles **** eating grin Carrols gum smacking confusion Looks like he might have cracked my top three... How about Rex, instead of coaching better and fixing problems, shaking his head after every penalty as though he's never the one to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100DollarBills Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 The only thing "beta as hell" is insecure guys who try to pump themselves up by seeing the world through an absurd alpha/beta lens.. No, there are clear traits you look for in a leader, you need to state failure is unacceptable and there will be consequences for losing and accountability will rule this team. Not clapping for poor performance and handing out participation trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I'm old fashioned. I like energy in a coach, but I prefer it in the form of ripping into players and refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clap and shake the players hand when they come off the field, no matter how they played during that particular stretch of game. It's designed to encourage them and let them know you've got their back through good points of play and bad alike. I see absolutely nothing wrong with being positive and maintaining that attitude regardless of what is going on on the field. Screaming and yelling at players does not produce results.

Players will tune you out and refs will make sure to not give you the benefit of the doubt if you are riding them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 He could do cartwheels to get around on the sidelines for all I care, as long as we win! That's the only important stat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just stating the coaching style that I enjoy for entertainment value. There is no particular coaching that does or doesn't work. It all depends upon the coaches skill level, and the talent on the roster. We all have different personalities, yet differing personalities can still achieve the same results.

Now professionals if they tune you out, will be on the streets real quick, real quick with me. This is a businesss and we demand success, if we don't get it you get replaced, real simple.

DirtDart Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Agreed! it actually really annoys me. If you clap once in a while to motivate when things go wrong i get that, but to do it after every negative play just gets redundant I bet his hands are really sore after the game.

Kelly the Dog Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I think if he watches the film of himself, and does a fair self-critique, he will eliminate between 2.6 and 3.4% of his claps, some of which were either clearly unnecessary or redundant, and therefore become a better coach. It is rumored, but not confirmed, that the psycho ref was not actually roughed, he was just pissed at the clapping, and threatened to "clap you upside yo non-nappy head the next time you clap for no reason."

While, on the surface, I agree .... I ask that you take into account garbage claps. How many of the claps came against prevent transitions?

Although I must add there were three or four missed claps that should have been made for those wide open receivers Tyrod missed. Those UCEs (unforced clap errors) add up.
