I totally agree with you and I hope for his children's sakes he is more encouraging at home as a father. Some may see it as tough love, but coming from a psychological standpoint, to never give praise when praise is due is not how you get the best performance out of someone.

Well, I know work me and home me are two different people. Bet that is the way with many people.

Learned from this guy who couldn't be bothered on the plane ride back from his last Natty because he was on the computer recruiting.

Didn’t bother me in the least. My dad was a very successful high school football coach. Whenever they won, we’d say the boys looked good. He would say we have so much work to do, mistakes, stupid moves, etc. When they would lose, we’d say they looked awful, blah blah. He would say, no, i saw improvement here, so and so had a great game. My poor mother, 33 years of this!

Did anyone watch the postgame interview right after the game? Even with a big win like this which gets us bowl eligible, JG has a big passing game, 3 100 yard receivers...CJP is still so negative and the only thing he could say is the team didn't play smart and he just focused on all the negative aspects. Even the interviewer sarcastically had to get CJP to acknowledge all the good that happened in thus game...even after this, CJP still just focused on all the mistakes and couldn't enjoy the positives!! I think he should lighten up a little bit. Take some cues from positive coaches like PJ Fleck for example

We have squeaked by in two games where we should have destroyed both teams in. We should be 8-3 right now. The interviewer was a little out of line in my opinion. I doubt he would take that same approach with Nick Saban. Pruitt handled it well and is much kinder to the media than Saban is. However, he is as serious about getting this team to play its best... not just a few players. Last whatever he is doing and whatever his approach is... it’s working.

I would say he should have acknowledged that the team did enough to win...this time, an he was happy with that. Then he has free rein to lay into the mistakes.
