@ Temple
Situation: Bulls go up 14-9 after Lamar tops off the opening drive of the 2nd half with a 19 yard TD run.
On the ensuing kickoff, a Temple holding penalty would have had them pinned inside their own 10. Momentum is clearly swinging our way. But wait...
A USF player shoves an already-down Temple player into the ground after the play was over. 15 yard penalty on USF. Time to get fired up right!
Check out the gentle guidance of good ol' Skip after that 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty
I know the pacifists will argue against yelling and screaming but hear me out. Here is my breakdown of the 3 types of football coaches:
1) hard a** who yells and screams consistently
2) a calm, passive coach, often quoted as saying "we have opportunities for improvement" or "we've had inconsistencies"
3) level-headed coach who gets fired up at appropriate times
Players don't react to the yelling and screaming of coach type 1 because they're effectively immune to it.
Players don't react to the softy, because there's no fear of upsetting him.
But when coach type 3 gets fired up, you bust your a** because you know he doesn't get angry often and if he's fired up, you will feed off his bursts of passion.
