Lol. I can tell you're an Ole Miss fan by your ignorance.
Yes, he's a good football coach and has great resources and extreme talent coming in. But, he has no idea how to COACH those guys coming in for life after football. They're troubled, in a dark place, and at the all time low in their life. All he cares about is winning and those kids need a role mode to look up to. Not someone who constantly curses at them and rides them like they're shite and worthless

Coach Stephens has a few strengths that carry him. They are recruiting and holding players accountable/not putting up with BS.
In recruiting he does a good job of finding the best players that are leaving D1 programs and finding players that can't qualify. One could say that it's not very impressive but if it were that easy, why aren't other JCs just as talented as EMCC?
The accountability/no BS part is what holds it together for him. With these type of players, you can't give them any wiggle room or they will never amount to shite. Obviously some kids such as rivers and the tech kid are different but for the most part, these guys are used to doing what they want when they want and need someone to call them on their shite.
His biggest weaknessare is communication. He has no idea how to communicate what he wants or what is going wrong. When shite isn't working, he just starts yelling about not being soft and how they need to play better. He also frequently tells his team they they are more talented so they should be doing better. Never does he ever give actually tips or critiques of technique or game plan. He yells a lot but at the end of his rant, nothing helpful has been said.

pretty good. glad they added a couple extra episodes this season. Not surprised the OC resigned. That little back and forth between he and Buddy came out of left field. That Carter kid slept like half the entire 8 episodes. If he actually makes it at Pitt that says a lot about Pitt. I thought the DC was gonna quit halfway through instead of the end. he was way over his head. And i bet "Mississippi Slim" gettin all kinds of pussy right now. he big time

I thought same thing about D.C. I really like the DL coach. Seems like a great guy.

I like the black guy with the long greasy hair that growls during the games.

Great point. And in one of the earlier episodes, which is the only ones I've seen so far, the editors deftly illustrate this by juxtaposing the words of Stevens'on-camera monologue with his b-roll dialogue with the players...Stevens says something like "you've got shoot straight with them, they don't understand grey area" and in the very next second he's contradicting himself.

Well, she got the visibility and she just launched her own academic counseling service for athletes nationwide. Not a bad deal in my opinion.

Sorry to burst your bubble but college football isn't about developing young players into men who will succeed in this world outside of football. It's about winning games. If there weren't academic regulations players had to meet, I guarantee the vast majority of coaches wouldn't give a shite about them going to class.
But, he has no idea how to COACH those guys coming in for life after football.

Just watched the scene. This episode is the most Hugh Freeze episode ever You gotta wonder if that scene will make the internet rounds

That Sleeping kid was most likely on his meds...damn shame what that shite does to people. Weed could help him with less side effects

Some of those kids seem like total locker room cancers and others look like total ballers and champions. Their talent level is so far above anyone else that it doesn't matter what attitude they're bringing, they're just gonna run over everyone else
Some How they still manage to win every game. Talent really wins out over heart in most cases.

Yep great show. I love seeing people get second chances. Most of these guys come from nothing and just need a role model and some direction in their life. Buddy Stephens is probably the worst coach for that. Total dickhead.

I really hope they don't stop this series but with Ms. Wagner gone they may.
