Down here is where a signature goes but they can confuse and anger some people so I don’t have one.
Looks like Ellis Johnson will be joining the staff. I am liking a lot of the moves he is making so far. I’ve heard mention of Erik Kimmery which would also be interesting
This is the same guy that after only one season he turned my Dolphins top ranked defense into a bunch of flounders. Then bolted to Auburn. Thank you Saban and Muschamp, 2 of my favorite coaches of all time.
I’ve heard many people say how he’s a great recruiter. I wonder how the kids these days will respond to a yeller, in your face coach. Like it or not, the kids these days grew up being coddled. Lots of them don’t respond well to that kind of approach. Just will be interesting to see.
Don’t get me wrong; I’ll be the first one to tell you that most kids these days are spoiled rotten. My neice who is 9 has an iphone…think about that. I’m 36 now and looking back I can honestly say that I don’t remember many of the times my parents spoiled me and what it did to mold me as a human. I can, however, tell you many many stories about where my parents made me go without or “earn it the old fashioned way” that positively contributed to me becoming the man I am today. I wasn’t a bad kid, but I can remember several instances where my dad yelled and whipped my backside for idiotic things I did. Things that were detrimental to me as a person, weather it be physical or mental or just plain bad judgment. But to this day I’ve walked the straight and narrow and have become a positive contributing member of society. That’s my belief and what I strive to be anyways. I honestly believe I owe it to my parents, several great teachers, and a couple of really great coaches for how they raised and taught me, what they did/didn’t give me, and their influence on my life.
That being said, a parent’s influence is not unlike that of a coach. A coach can be a strong disciplinarian figure that helps mold young men by establishing proper work ethic, setting and achieving goals, teaching team dynamics and selflessness, and instilling a “I can do anything if I put my mind to it” mentality. Coaches yell. Many times, young men won’t listen unless that yelling is there. Dabo is a fantastic coach that gets the attention and respect of the young men on the football field. If he has to yell at one or two to get his point across, its for a reason. Its to imprint on that young man’s brain the severity of the mistake that he made and to show the difference of right and wrong in the given situation and how it affects not only him but his entire team. Did it look bad? Sure it did, but those of us that ever played a competitive sport where we had a coach that was worth anything, knows that what he did was for the b

Yep - I think most of us agree with you, 23. But this generation is just … different. Very, very selfish in general. My reaction to Dabo cutting that boys butt was “he needs to know when he screwed up”. I found it amusing that a story about Dabo berating a player was a top trending story on FB. Really??? Oh, that, poor, poor boy, I can hear it now. BS!
Anyway, I guess I see Dabo more as a father figure to the players. Most of the time he is supportive and selling the family aspect, but he’s the kind of Dad that will let you know when you screwed up. Then probably gave that boy a hug in the locker room. It’s different than the sterotypical “yeller” coach. I don’t know much about Muschamp, but he’s being portrayed as that type. I just wonder how young recruits coming out of HS will respond to it. Time will tell.
My oldest played H.S. football for 4 years and my youngest just finished his first year of middle school ball. I don’t know about other programs but, there was plenty of yelling at both programs. That being said, there was also plenty of praise when players did well and I think that is the key. Let’s face it, Bobby Knight never had a problem getting kids to play for him and Frank Martin seems to be pulling in some pretty good recruits as well. Unless you are just a coddled little Mama’s boy, you should be able to handle some yelling if you are playing an organized team sport. If not then get off the field.

Did those coaches lose control with the officials?

Every generation has said the same thing. The "young folks are spoiled". I remember my parents generation was that way. Followed by myself...Now we are calling the kids more spoiled. Must be a jealousy thing. We just want to be young again. I am proud to say I never got a participation trophy...:smiley:
