I think jimmy johnson was the last to be able to moitvate players consistently with that method.
money has changed the game and even with nonguaranteed contracts players arent motivated as much by yelling at them and insinuating they are mentally defective.
its that type of motivation that goes on in the military and since the ending of compulsory service in the mid seventies its fallen out of disuse. Let be quite frank, why put up with tat crap if you dont have to.
Coughlin turns nice and he wins a superbowl. Dungy and Smith win with the same techniques and you can look all the way back to vermeil and see this success being nice gets. wade is of this same mold.
No we didnt lose down the stretch because Wade didnt scare the rosters enough. we lost because Romo's thumb was dinged, TO was hurt, our offensive line needs to be better coached and coordinated in the rungame, jacques reeves, kevin burnett and others cannot cover to save their lives and the fact that the NY Giants are a good football team.
Buck up campers, we still allmost won despite all that.
