Many of the pro guys are spoiled babies. Boldin being one of them it looks like. He blows up and doesn’t know the full story.
Most players seem to prefer a coach who gets on their asses and pushes them. Especially if their is mutual respect. Parcells and Belichick are known to be hardasses yet 99% of their players respect them. Listen to one of the original prima donnas like Keyshawn just gush over Parcells.
Rivers may be considered a players coach but he has no problem getting on someone’s ass but his guys play hard for the most part so is there a need to….
Someone like Urban Meyer is a little bit of both.
