Belichik is the same way.

I remember watching a clip of Belichik chewing Brady after a pick in the end zone. He told Brady the qb at foxboro high could?ve made that throw along with a few other expletives. Belichik did it way more when he was younger, but he still lets it go on occasion. Can?t have a thin skin and be a coach or player, won?t last long.
Can?t be thin skinned in any occupation and be successful. You won?t always hear what you want to hear or always come out on top. Have to shake it off and learn from the failures. And learn from the failures of others as well. That?s where most people do not take advantage.
My best boss mentor taught me more about his screwups and failures than his successes. I find myself weekly remembering something he told me about a failure and me trying to avoid that. As opposed to remembering his success stories. More times than not a success is accomplished by minimizing and eliminating your risks for failure, through preparation.
You wanna see something funny watch the 30 for 30 on the browns and why they left Cleveland for Baltimore. Belichik was hc and Saban was his dc. It?s funny watching Saban getting chewed on by Belichik.
Wasn't that Mahlzahn at Arkansas State?
Freeze is not a quality person period. And you are right he will be working the back channels to try to get the Bama job and position himself for it once Saban retires. No way I could see him pulling off a coup to oust Saban at Alabama- he didn't even pull it off at Ole Miss with his connections although there is no doubt that those connections eventually got him the Ole Miss job.
I am with you on this. But a lot of times, Saban seems to do it when it isn't deserved, just to send a message to his team or something....and if I were the coach that he decided to use as a prop, after putting in God knows how many hours a day and calling a great game, I would have a real problem with that.
I would guess that the coaches are in on it a lot of times. I know Bill Walsh told his assistants that if the players weren't doing something right in a practice or game he was going to chew the assistant coaches out because he felt like it was more effective because the players didn't want to let their position coach down.
Saban is a master at using the media. He would completely abuse Matthew Stevens if he covered Alabama- that would be worth watching. When Saban does that he's sending a message to his team and also at times his fans- it's absolutely briliant to watch if you "get" what he is doing. To most it looks like he is dressing down the media- but it's really not about them at all. Saban vs. the MSU media would be pretty hilarious if he coached us. We would probably have to put a depends dispenser in the bathroom for some of them.
