Tells you all you need to know.
How many times are folks going to talk this to death. Hill is gone. Period. He can make face saving comments and others can bounce this back and forth, but whether you think he was kicked off the team, quit, is working on the NFL or whatever, the facts won't change. He will never wear maroon and white officially again. Let it go.
Not true IMO.
The best coaching staffs have a bad cop Head Coach and good cop assistants that care about the players.
You think Saban shows his players love? No shot. but his assistants do.
The head coach sets the culture and expectations and the assistants put their arms around the kids.
The best coaching staffs are mostly built that way.
I don't think Saban is the norm. I see the opposite of what you describe a lot of the time. The CEO is the good guy to guys many levels away from him but he rides the guys right under him. The position coaches may be the hardest on the players. Bottom line is where ever the bad cop, good cop comes from, you can't have just one in the whole organization. Whether they are harsh or not, the guy at the top has to set the tone. The manor in which he does that may be personality more than anything.
Either approach can work but I’m a fan of the guy at the top being the table setter
If there is an issue in the locker room, then I applaud our coaching staff for aggressively handling it. The sooner the issues are cleaned up, the sooner the program can move forward.
He hasn’t talked to Kylin because Kylin isn’t his player anymore.
I may not be a Leach fan, but I think the mess that Moorhead left is bigger than we thought. He sure destroyed things in 2 short years in terms of culture. I don?t fault Leach for any of this purging and I think he is doing the right thing to get attitude problems off the team. I am hopeful that once it gets cleaned up he can prove me wrong and take us to high levels. We do have to give him 3 years unless it?s still a complete train wreck next year.
Knew a guy that was at Bama for Saban’s first season. Said they were in line to get their jersey number, and the guy in front of him told Saban that he had to have a specific number. Said Saban cussed him so bad that he made sure to tell Saban to give him whatever number he felt like!
The last thing Leach is going to do is beg a player to come back.
