Animated CPJ in Player's Faces...

[bartoma]

Don't recall the specific plays or what precipitated it (one was Snoddy, related to pitch position an resulting fumble, rght?), but seems like it's been a while since CPJ was as up in the faces of the players as he was this afternoon... Man, he was about ready to bite off some heads like Ozzy Osbourne - all of which I appreciate... Great seeing the fire of a great competitor - hope it continues to rub off on the team...

He really laid into Joe at one point.

I believe he was yelling at Errin Joe at some point. I know a lot of people dislike that and feel it's bad for recruiting, but I'd prefer someone who cares enough to get fired up and get in players faces than one who is complacent. I feel like I'd want to play for someone like that.

I saw Bobby Ross and O'Leary do it many times.

Getting yelled at is not the worst thing in the world. Look at the locker room after the game. Do you think he lost any of them? I have found over the years that, as long as a kid believes you care about him, you can get pretty animated with him if you need to. With all that CPJ does for these kids, I guarantee you they know he cares.

so far today I have seen Saban, mushcamp, Sweeney, at host of others do the same.

Doesn't bother me. It looks bad to those not accustomed to such things but in highly competitive situations, its not out of the ordinary.

You can have those interactions with people you have a relationship with and they know where you are coming from. I would be more concerned if CPJ didn't address it and was nonchalant about it.

 

[BainbridgeJacket]

He got in Joe's face before the 4th down and the pass pro was much improved the rest of the game (though part of that was the adjustment).

One thing I like about Paul is his competitive spirit. Sometimes the youngsters have to be instructed in the finer points. Never back down. Never take a down off. Never give up. Good job, Coach!

 

[nodawgs]

Nothing wrong with laying into a player for his play, so long as you build him back up more than you tore him down.

These guys are grown men. No need to treat them with kid gloves.

Yep. I can visualize CPJ telling him that he is capable of much better than that and right now is the time to show it.

 

[herb]

Well, it was a football game so there is gonna be some yelling.

 

[Jerry the Jacket]

With all the PC crap we have in modern day society, it would not suprise me to see CPJ get suspended or fired for hurting someone's feelings. Just kind of where we are headed.

Go Jackets!

Would have been kinda neat to see MBob do that to CPJ in the 2nd half of gsu game last week.

They are all big boys.

We don't need a Jerry Jones coming down from the seats to do something like. If he did have a problem, they would be discussing this behind closed doors and on the sidelines. Big difference.

Besides, I was just making a funny. Our coach is not the first, nor will be the last to talk to face to face with a player, asst. coach or ref. if need be. I agree with boomer's post.

On the Snoddy interaction I think CPJ had made his point but then Snoddy said something he didn't like, maybe an excuse or some such so then CPJ turned back and really let him have an earful. They showed Thomas talk to him for a minute on the bench soon after and sit next to him. So it was a learning moment, lesson learned, and they all moved on.

No one is talking about the fact Pelton did the same thing to a DL that line up offsides.

ITS PART OF BEING A COACH FOLKS
