    There are a ton of different ways to be successful as a head coach. The lawn mower worked for USC. Some dork assistant coach ucla wore brave heart war paint on his face in their game vs Arizona last year as the defense he coached dominated. erickson was a Good coach with very little discipline. Whatever you do, just win the games and it does not matter how you got there.

    Now the point about attention to detail is interesting. It seems more of the successful coaches fall under this category.

    Brian Kelly freaks out if their lockers are not organized the right way.

    Talking to former players of his, playing for urban Meyer is far from fun. Everything is so detailed down to each rep in the weight room.

    And Brian Kelly is obsessed about the details down to their locker and how its organized too.

    Yeah but what about the Notre Dame coach?

    Does Saban call his players insecure racists and sexists?

    I think he has said far worse to his players. Another excerpt from the GQ story: "Saban was also captured on film screaming at a 300-pound lineman until the poor guy walked away weeping."

    Team is up 27 points and he is blowing up on McCaron back when he was a backup QB. No lawnmower, no talking shit to the fans.

    National title game look how intense the players and Saban still are. They are up 30 at the time.

    The only time I've seen Sark lose his cool was against Portland State when our players were acting like tough guys a week after being bitched slapped by LSU.

    ya, but are they having fun?
