I didn't say the players are humble. I don't think most of them are. And the coach is unlikely to change that.Not sure i've disagreed with a post more....well aside from most Dak Attack threads. If you think NFL players are humble you are severely mistaking. You think Henry Ruggs was humble before last week? Nope, he thought he was invincible. These are guys mostly early 20s to early 30s still learning about life, and given hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars. If you expect them to just line up, play, and execute flawlessly we will have to agree to disagree on this one. You get 50+ players high on themselves after a winning streak and its simply human nature to feel like you are untouchable. Not to factor in that locker room of players all have personal lives with distractions that are everywhere.
Being a HC at any level is a tough job, the NFL is no exception just because these are adults. That just means they have different issues to worry about. Player/personality management I would argue is the most important piece of being a HC. No one makes it to this level not understanding the Xs and Os, or how to schedule practice.
The coach has his job, and player have theirs.
It's rare that a coach can change a players personality or their view of life. And it's really not the coaches job to do so.
It's rare that a coach can make players play harder than they already are.
