Does anyone else not like the way they talk about players? I'm not talking just about the stuff, per se, in the article. A number of statements made in the recent press conferences sound like NFL coaches. It's hard for me to explain exactly, but it's like they are talking about the players in public candidly, and not putting a spin to encourage or hype up the player. It's more a mater of fact.
I always thought that a couch should publicly have their players back, and put out publicly words of encouragement as warranted (eg, he has the tools and with work could become something special). I imagine the player's family and friends like this, it would help the player, and it would create good will within the program.
I know I'll get a lot of flack (like many were NFL coaches and they welcome such "honesty," for example), and don't have time to respond, but I thought someone should throw out the topic.
