This.
There's no doubt he knew exactly what he was doing when he said it. I thought it was very well played on his part....

Bert did it to himself with that quote. Still, as an Arky fan, I would be happy that's turning into the only thing opposing fans have to make fun on him for. Arky is on an upward trajectory, and the other quotes here seem like he's doing it right.

Coach Richt had this problem with Shaq Wiggins, Tray Matthews and Josh Harvey-Clemons.

because breaking bread, it's about the food." Bielema reminds us. "Food makes the world go round. Food cures all. Food is the best thing in life. Food is a cure-all.

Bielema identified a group of seniors "who felt they were bigger than the program," showing up late to meetings and "setting bad examples" for younger teammates with their conduct. Weeks before the 2009 season, Bielema indefinitely suspended senior safeties Aubrey Pleasant and Shane Carter, who had 34 combined starts. Both players soon were kicked off the team.
Bielema didn't inform his assistants of his decision, instead calling a team meeting to relay the news.
I gotta say, I like this.
yup
Bielema has shown the same mindset at Arkansas

The other way to interpret this is coaches wanting to feel justified dumping players who disagree with them.
Look at the stuff coming out about Beckman, the Illinois coach, if any of that crap is true he is garbage. Coaches wield an incredible amount of power over their players, and Coaches are also crazy people. Personally I don't think I headcoach can always be trusted to recognize the difference of a player who disagrees with decisions being made by the coach, and a player who is damaging team chemistry.
"buying into the team concept" is too often coach speak for "do whatever I say"

Yeah, generally. Look, I'm all for rugged individualism, democracy, crazy sex antics all over town, etc. But it's the coach's job to tell his players what to do and how to do it. Yes, a smart coach at least listens to his smarter players, gets feedback and input. But, in the end, it's all about "do whatever I say." If you can't sublimate your ego and just do what the coach says, you're not going to get very far in football. I was never a great player for my high school team, but I occasionally got into games because when my coach said 'Jump', I didn't bother asking 'How high?' I just jumped. He appreciated that.

The problem is when the coach tells you to 'jump' when your ACL is torn.

I think the precondition of the coach not actively trying to cause you permanent damage was a given. No doubt there are terrible coaches who care nothing about their players. But it's still not unreasonable to assume that the coach's word is law as far as football goes if the coach isn't actively trying to ruin your life. There are multiple reasons people make an analogy between sports and war, after all.

I'm not sure anything could ever be worse than the 2012 Kentucky locker room.
I can't find the article, but Dupree said as much before the season started. And when Avery Williamson came out and said had Stoops been there when he came out of HS he wouldn't have been "good enough" for UK, that said quite a bit too.
I worked with a guy who played under Joker as he always said Joker couldn't get past being a player's friend long enough to be a successful HC. That it made him a great coordinator or position coach to be able to play the "good cop" but it would likely always frick him over when he tried to put his foot down as an HC.

Well .... yeah. I mean from where do you believe the term "get with the program" originated?
"Football program," duh. ;)
But seriously. Yes, a coach needs his players to work within the system if the chemistry is going to gel. If a coach cannot accomplish that then he'll be a short-lived head coach.

And to add - all think they will be first round picks in the NFL draft. Doesn't sound like he does.
And I am starting to like him as well. And by calling him fat, I get the sense that BB does not take that as an insult.
