[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 757352, member: 4572"] Grabbing players by their face masks and screaming at them on the sidelines during a game does absolutely nothing to prepare them for their next opportunity, nor does it make that player any better. The [I]only [/I]times a coach should touch a player on the sidelines is to congratulate them, or they can get away with a jersey tug and pull if the player is straight up disrespecting them. But they shouldn’t be jerking them off their feet and completely embarrassing them in that situation either. Even the most intense coaches y’all can site: Saban, Smart, Pruitt, etc. the vast majority of a time they’re yelling at individual players they’re doing so as the player is running off the field and the coach walks by them so there isn’t as much attention brought to it. Of course cameras catch a lot of those interactions, but the coach never holds a player in one spot or tries to demoralize him enough to the point of embarrassment. You can be intense as a coach without embarrassing your players. Do you people really think CGC isn’t intense during the games? Competing with intensity and embarrassing players don’t have to go hand in hand. Did you not see the clip from the Louisville game where CGC is yelling at the defense to “finish this motherf***er”?
