Actually both of you are correct.

Saban yells quite a bit. But he's instructing along with it. Just with fiery passion.

Butch would just yell and you could never sense where it was coming from.

This is what I was about to say as well. A good coach knows that no two players respond the same way to a specific method. Some need to be instructed and then some like myself played better when my coach jumped my a$$.

To be honest, I don’t think it’s a good look for former players to bash a coach in an interview after they’re gone. I get why he couldn’t voice his concerns publicly while on the Vol roster, but why do it now? What does Smith get out of this? Butch is gone and this just looks like piling on.

Did you read the article? Because it really wasn’t really that bad and Smith said everything he was saying Jones already had heard from him.

I don’t really see the big deal.

I'm aware that pervs might think that your comment is cute. How could they not be attracted to you? Look at your avatar. :wink2:

Go Volz!

What struck me most about this article was the insight into the younger generation's sensitivity to criticism. Older people like me were used to coaches yelling and never being satisfied with anything. Pat Summitt, Bobby Knight types.

The younger kids seem to be less receptive to that type of accountability, rather preferring a coach who will instruct but not be very negative about mistakes. If Josh is representative of his generation and the stereotypes of their sensitivity is accurate, perhaps the coaches of today and the future will have to adapt to this psychology to be successful?

Today's youth has determined that being tolerant of coaching abuse is a non-starter.

Sure it is. The most important aspect of recruiting is the relationship that a HC is selling. Sounds like Butch couldn’t deliver.

I hate when I have to take matters into my own hands.

Butch yelled but didn’t instruct
Had anger management issues
Butch had a limited vocabulary as an individual
He was an odd duck
Poor self esteem
Poor people skills emanating from insecurity and no real sense of who he was.

It wasn’t an emotional rip job of “Butch sucked” with no explanation as to “why.” I agree with you that those are a bad look.

I think he was just being honest. And, he provided specific facts supporting his concerns. Nothing wrong with that IMO.

I think this is a fair evaluation.

Smith should shut his mouth. No team wants a player that talks. He isn't good enough to be a worry for a franchise.

True, but we're talking about a guy that was carrying a microphone around practice everyday so he could yell at everybody. If you're going to do that, you'd better get some results or people are going to just tune it out.

These type of articles bring the amateur psychoanalysis out of the woodwork. Establish a narrative then find something to prove the narrative instead of learning the facts and THEN establish a narrative. Of course CBJ had issues which led to his demise. Not for sure I could quantify an emotional or mental disorder based on an article about Josh Smith ...but hey ...I’m an amateur as well.

Prolly resentful that Butch kept putting him out there to return punts after we lost Berry. He sucked at it.
