Hush yo mouth...Dare I say it.... we might actually tackle someone next year!
but I'm talkin' 'bout ShaftHush yo mouth...
Then can we dig it?but I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft
Damn it, just damn it. I was already confident but now I’m just a full fledged Jim Jones led kool aid drinker. There goes all reason and grounding and here comes opening myself up to the pain.
I don’t think LEO was good preparation for CCC’s way of doing thingsLEO never stalked softness!
LEO will manifest itself naturally after a TEAM learns to work together and suffer together... It was never going to occur just by talking about it (in my opinion)...I don’t think LEO was good preparation for CCC’s way of doing things
It was hard to tackle someone convincingly with love!I don’t think LEO was good preparation for CCC’s way of doing things
It's what you call separating the wheat from the chaffThis is really poor leadership. Or maybe it’s better to say it’s a poor management skills.
Keep that stuff in-house. Tell a player he’s soft. Call him a pussy to his face. Whatever. Putting it on blast like that is ego driven.
Right or wrong, he’s also fixin to find out that the power dynamic has shifted significantly in favor of the players vs coaches over the last few years.
He better win and win quick. Because he is going to lose a locker room in a hurry if they lose.
Yeah. But keep it in house.It's what you call separating the wheat from the chaff
Those players not able to handle Bob Knight’s public belittling stayed little.This is really poor leadership. Or maybe it’s better to say it’s a poor management skills.

I think most serious players can handle a tough, demanding, but fair coach. A coach who's just an egotistical asshole will lose the locker room. I'm not at all saying CCC is the latter, but you're right that at this point it's all talk. Proof will be the results on the field.This is really poor leadership. Or maybe it’s better to say it’s a poor management skills.

Come on, this isn’t junior league football.Yeah. But keep it in house.
I think he's making it easy for those teetering on the edge to quit... He'd rather have them do it now then when it's fourth and goal in The Bucket Game...It's what you call separating the wheat from the chaff
It transcends sports.Come on, this isn’t junior league football.
Truth. Wait to see how fans react when he starts calling us soft with a loser mentality.His job is to win. It's easier with a full stadium. A stadium fills when fans are confident that they'll be entertained and likely to win. There are multiple prongs to this. You could knock me over with a feather if he didn't tell the players this to their faces before he tweeted it. Fans need to know that he realizes our expectations have been embarrassingly low. He's sick of losing before he's even lost. I like that.
Guy talks a big game. "I win - - google me." "I've never taken a back seat to anyone and I'm not about to start now." "I am stalking softness and will eliminate it in every area so that we have the opportunity to stalk complacency." For all his outspokenness, I don't remember Knight talking with this degree of brashness and chest-thumping.This is really poor leadership. Or maybe it’s better to say it’s a poor management skills.

If more than 2 of the coworkers of the same ilk then it must be said in front of everyone. The 1's getting the work done will stay. The 1's that don't better leave on their own. Because now everybody knows. Which is the purpose of this exercise in the 1st place. Git on the train or git off the track.It transcends sports.
Everyone should learn to take a good old ass chewin. There’s a big difference between your boss chewing you out in the office calling you out. It’s another to do it in front of all of your coworkers.
That you mention coach Knight, I think back to the famous locker room talk chewing them out. I think one of the quotes were hoe “you will not effing do that to me!” So he was open to doing that in the locker room but, like you said, I don’t recall him ever talking like that in public.Guy talks a big game. "I win - - google me." "I've never taken a back seat to anyone and I'm not about to start now." "I am stalking softness and will eliminate it in every area so that we have the opportunity to stalk complacency."

I agree with you. I don't see the need for these public pronouncements. Show us on Saturdays, dude.
Go Hoosiers!
This is likely the answer to why. He mentioned that he likes when players he didn't want enter the portal because he just won't allow them to come back....making it easierI think he's making it easy for those teetering on the edge to quit... He'd rather have them do it now then when it's fourth and goal in The Bucket Game...
I predict that Its gonna be a long rough 7 months before Kick Off next Fall...
The "the Coach is a crazy mean SOB" narrative smooths things out with the girlfriends parents and keeps extended friends and family from asking detailed uncomfortable questions... He's doing them a favor...
He didn’t tell a player he is soft. He said that softness would be rooted out. If a player feels called out than that would be their problem. Now is the time to set the expectation. He isn’t chastising anyone. How his players and coaches rally around him would be a strong indication that he knows how to balance his blunt communication with how he administers his team environment. We have been a soft team. It has been a public display the last couple of falls. No need to keep it in house.This is really poor leadership. Or maybe it’s better to say it’s a poor management skills.

No kidding, exactly right.He didn’t tell a player he is soft. He said that softness would be rooted out. If a player feels called out than that would be their problem.

I would agree. That tweet was for the fans, not the players. He's trying to build exitement for what has recently been a very unexciting program. He wants a full, loud stadium not 20,000 empty seats.His job is to win. It's easier with a full stadium. A stadium fills when fans are confident that they'll be entertained and likely to win. There are multiple prongs to this. You could knock me over with a feather if he didn't tell the players this to their faces before he tweeted it.

He’s not singling anyone out in public. Basically just announcing there’s a new sheriff in town. All in or all out. I like it.It transcends sports.

If you’re a soft player, this tweet is upsetting.This is really poor leadership. Or maybe it’s better to say it’s a poor management skills.
