[QUOTE="Techster, post: 451527, member: 360"] Can CPJ be a bit "nicer"? Sure. But one of the things I appreciate about CPJ is that he has standards and he holds our players accountable. For instance: [URL]https://www.ajc.com/sports/college/paul-johnson-ramping-disciplinary-measures/kZXNzPWCd8KpuilAhICIDN/[/URL] [I]But he also asserted his belief that “little things are important. And the more I can teach the fact that little things are important, I think that has a lot to do with whether or not you win close games or whether or not you do all those things. And you just need to be accountable.”[/I] If you watch the interview, he goes a bit deeper about holding guys accountable for little things...and what it means for them in the bigger picture of being a responsible adult. IMO, that part of the interview needs to be isolated and sent to recruits and their parents. How many schools out there are going to sit their starting RB because he missed a breakfast roll call, or didn't attend a weight lifting session? Is that one breakfast or weight lifting session going to affect their ability on Saturday? Probably not, but for CPJ it's not about one game, it's about the bigger picture. One missed session leads to 2...2 to 5...5 till ??? Eventually the player thinks there are no repercussions for missing something the rest of his teammates have to do. Personally, and from a professional stand point, when I was just beginning my working career after graduating there were MANY nights I could have easily mailed it in and joined by buddies tossing a few back at the bar.
