CJH likeability

Even the most likeable coaches quickly lose that quality once they are confronted by angry media/fans after loses. Then those same people pretty quickly start becoming unlikable (because nobody wants to hear excuses, and even straight talk only buys them so much time before everyone completely loses patience). Actually very short patience and demanding immediate results is one of the biggest issues in today's society in general - football and other high level sports are just very good examples of this.

I think the Pruitt we saw kicking whiteboards, yanking facemasks, and in players faces was the genuine Pruitt.
The vanilla zombie that walked the sidelines after that seemed to be someone not comfortable in a forced role.

Na... his players love him. That stuff is part of coaching... it's only in this era of sissified ******** that little things like that are unacceptable.

I keep seeing it mentioned in multiple threads, but I’d like to start a conversation on how that can benefit him and us going forward. I feel like if a coach isn’t a total twat to players/fans/media they get a naturally longer chain than those who are generally unpleasant.

Keep the young men out of jail, teach them some good life lessons if need be and win some football games. I like the guy so far but I also liked Pruitt the first 2 years so there is that 😀

I could care less is he is likeable. Winning is all that matters. Saban, belicheck and many other coaches are assholes but they win and that's all that matters

Likeable = longer leash.

Helps recruiting too.

However, you normally have the HC be Matt Dillon and the Assistant Coaches be Doc Adams.

I really like heupul, but I don’t know many successful leaders who are likeable. Nick saban seems like a dick, hell Steve Jobs was known for being a jerk.

Allow me to give you an opposite example. He's not a coach but one of the richest men on this planet and universally well liked and respected. I give you Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. Leaders don't have to be jerks to be winners.

I like him because he is intelligent and you have to be in order to continually win.
